Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818, 1831)

March 23, 2016 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

Frontispiece_to_Frankenstein_1831-Chapter-5-Dante

“Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then; but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived.” — Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (Chapter 5)

Contributed by Kate Geraghty (Bowdoin, ’07) and Megan Alvarado (University of Texas at Austin, ’18)
