In Search of Mary Shelley review: A life of monsters and men

This has been BBC radio 4's book of the week and as such has been serialised in 5 15 minute parts which will be available on iplayer to UK residents for the next month. I've certainly enjoyed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09ms55g

The best recent article on Shelley and Frankenstein: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2017/12/21/frankenstein-out-...

Includes reviews of:

Frankenstein, Or, The Modern Prometheus: Annotated for Scientists, Engineers, and Creators of All Kinds by Mary Shelley, edited by David H. Guston, Ed Finn, and Jason Scott Robert MIT Press, 277 pp., $19.95 (paper)

The New Annotated Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, edited and with a foreword and notes by Leslie S. Klinger Liveright, 352 pp. $35.00

I am reminded of another post in which it is speculated that the study of algae by Charles Darwin served as one source of inspiration for the Frankenstein story.
