About this product

Product Information

The Lady and Her Monsters by Roseanne Motillo brings to life the fascinating times, startling science, and real-life horrors behind Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein . Montillo recounts how--at the intersection of the Romantic Age and the Industrial Revolution--Shelley's Victor Frankenstein was inspired by actual scientists of the period: curious and daring iconoclasts who were obsessed with the inner workings of the human body and how it might be reanimated after death. With true-life tales of grave robbers, ghoulish experiments, and the ultimate in macabre research--human reanimation-- The Lady and Her Monsters is a brilliant exploration of the creation of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's horror classic.

Reviews
Montillo achieves a freshness through her lively narrative approach and a fascination with long-ago science and its ethics that sparks across the pages., Enthusiatic prose... A Spirited investigation of the bizarre times that inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein., Her narrativeâ€¦ rattles enjoyably through a lurid and restless landscape. â€¦ Equally a literary and a scientific endeavor., 'A delicious and enticing journey into the origins of a masterpiece.' (Publishers Weekly (starred review)), "A haunting picture of an era in which science and the arts overlapped, a perfect storm in which inspiration for "Frankenstein" could strike. Like a bolt of lightning.", 'Enthusiatic prose... A Spirited investigation of the bizarre times that inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. ? (Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)), "Spills the dirt on the making of the 19th-century novel--affairs, family drama, a lake house with Lord Byron!--and paints a grimly fascinating picture of the dissections and experiments in "animal electricity" that inspired the gothic tale.", Montillo never loses sight of the fact that it was Mary Shelley's imagination that sewed the pieces together - and provided the vital spark that keeps the tale alive nearly two centuries on., With a flair for both drama and detail, Montillo breathes her own kind of life into the story of the men determined to discover its very elements., Montillo's book is a welcome tribute to the literary, and especially the scientific, roots of the story., 'Montillo never loses sight of the fact that it was Mary Shelley's imagination that sewed the pieces together - and provided the vital spark that keeps the tale alive nearly two centuries on.'
