Abstract

Translate

Creator of a modern monster, visionary of a scientific future, celebrity, sexual experimenter and struggling mother, Mary Shelley is one of the most enduring novelists and one of the most remarkable. The programme discovers how Mary Shelley's personal life influenced her most famous work and why her ideas resonate so clearly today. Nearly 200 years after the book was published, we are still fascinated and sometimes afraid of how far science can take us into the mysteries of life itself.
