What is perhaps most extraordinary is that Mary Shelley’s novel, capable of producing shock and terror in its unprepared readers, was the work of a young woman of 18. Few works of fiction have had as much influence on the world as this haunting tale of a monster and its creator: the prophetic power of the novel’s imagery in reflecting the dehumanising effects of science, technology, business and the mass media has never abated. Josie Billington looks at why the novel matters so much and why, after 200 years, its message is still so powerful.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAll you need to know about Mary's Shelly's \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e is in this advanced guide to the text.
