In 1818, Frankenstein broke ground by creating space for its readers to interrogate the morals of the day’s emerging sciences. We participate in that tradition by providing a contemporary examination of humankind’s quest for knowledge, the role of women in this strange new world, and the hope and rage of society’s most ostracized. As a result, the Frankenstein Art Novel introduces readers to Mary Shelley’s haunting tale of life and death with an emphasis on nature and feminine power.
