We Shall Be Monsters: A look at the life of author Mary Shelly In-Person
Kathy Wilson will present this program about Mary Shelly.
The daughter of 18th-century radicals, Mary Shelly was disowned by her family and ostracized by 19th-century society when she ran off with a married man at the age of 16. Despite continued criticism of her morals, her husband’s philandering, and the death of loved ones, she still managed to write one of the most popular novels of all time while still a teenager. This program looks at Mary Shelly's life to learn more about her and understand why the fascination with "Frankenstein" continues.
This program is presented in conjunction with the traveling exhibit at the library October 7 through November 16, 2024 titled, "Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature," from The National Library of Medicine.
