Here be monsters: Frankenstein & Dundee
MANY readers might be unaware of the Scottish connections of the novel Frankenstein, Or, The Modern Prometheus which first appeared in print 200 years ago. Although published anonymously in 1818, it was the work of 18-year-old Mary Shelley, who had stayed for the best part of two formative years between the ages of 14 and 16½ in Dundee.
