MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
Frankenstein hit Western culture a little like the news of a new scientific discovery: disbelief, followed by efforts at duplication. In a few short years the book had been adapted for the stage and translated into French, and begun its alchemical transformation from imaginative fiction to modern myth.
