AuthorSpeak: Mary Shelley Free Poster
Often called the mother of science fiction, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is best remembered for her timeless tale, Frankenstein. Written initially as a response to a horror story challenge by the poet Lord Byron, Frankenstein is rich with motifs of the Gothic and Romantic literary movements. After Frankenstein’s publication in 1818, Shelley wrote several novels, including Valperga, Lodore, and The Last Man. Throughout her work, Shelley examines themes of humanity, gender equality, and the consequences—both good and bad—of progress. Bring her spirit to life in your classroom with this hauntingly beautiful AuthorSpeak poster.
