Her father
was philosopher William Godwin. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was
feminism’s founder. By pedigree and experience, Mary Shelley was uncannily
equipped to write the gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein. This program
offers a fresh exploration of her novel, focusing on how Shelley’s personal
life influenced the book and mirrored it afterwards. Along with reenactments
of scenes from her classic and dramatizations of her life, the program draws
from a wealth of primary sources, including readings from her mother’s A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Mary Shelley’s personal letters,
as well as those of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron. A
BBCW Production. (60 minutes)
