Mary Shelley and ‘Frankenstein’
Image by gnomonic
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, aged 19, arrived in Bath in September 1816 and took lodgings here at 5 Abbey Church Yard. That house was demolished to make way for the Pump Room extension in the 1890s.
She attended scientific lectures by Dr Wilkinson in the nearby Kingston Lecture Room. he suggested that one day electricity might be used to bring inanimate matter to life. this idea resonated with Mary, who had recently experienced nightmares in thunderstorms and inspired her to write ‘Frankenstein’.
Mary married the poet Percy Shelley in December 1816. When she left Bath early in 1817 much of the novel had been written. It was published anonymously in London in January 1818.
Coincidentally there is now a vault beneath this sign containing an electricity sub-station that delivers thousands of volts to central Bath.
