À propos de cet audio
Frankenstein and his monster are household names - even if one is often confused for the other. But what of their creator?
In this episode we are meeting Mary Shelley. Did she really lose her virginity on her mother's grave? Did she keep her husband's heart after his death? And where did the gothic novel 'Frankenstein' come from?
Kate is joined by poet Fiona Sampson to explore Mary and her life. Fiona's biography of Mary Shelley is entitled ‘In Search of Mary Shelley: The Girl Who Wrote Frankenstein’.
This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Sophie Gee. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
