Who was there when Frankenstein was written?

Answer 1

Wordsworth, Coleridge and Mary Shelley on a beautiful morning took a walk along the sea shore when they came across a portion of 'ribbed sea sand'. Coleridge commented that "it looks like the ribs of an old man lying dying there." There followed a heated discussion on what Horror really is and it was decided that each one of them should write a horror poem. Accordingly the inept Wordsworth wrote The Stolen Boat which has not been heard to have caused fear in anyone. Coleridge wrote his immortal The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner which terrified even himself. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein still continues to terrify this world.

The first edition was anonymously published in London in 1818 but in the second edition, published in France, Mary Shelley's name finally appeared.

Frankenstein was Mary's submission. The book was published in 1818 Jan 1.

The name Frankenstein is not the name of the creature. It is the name of the mad scientist who made the creature. The creature took the name Legion from a Biblical remark by the Devil. During the temptation of Christ in the wilderness, Jesus asks the tempter his name and the tempter says, "My name is legion for we are many". And the creature knows that he was put together from many parts.
