Class 8: Frankenstein

Welcome to the Class 8 research guide on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein!

As preparation to understand the themes, historical context, and language used within the text, we will undertake a mini-research project during and outside of class.

As an example, take a look at this reference source article:

• "Frankenstein" from World Literature and Its Times: Profiles of Notable Literary Works and the Historical Events That Influenced Them
• Note: while you can incorporate the information from this article into your group's presentation, it does not count towards the reference source requirement.

Linked below are the resources that will help you and your group learn more about your specific topic. Each member of the group needs to find one reference source and one visual source.
