| "The year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time Frankenstein Or Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on gothic horror and science-fiction genres and her creation has become part of our everyday culture from cartoons to Hallowe'en costumes Even the name Frankenstein' has become a by-word for evil scientists and dangerous experiments How did a teenager with no formal education come up with the idea for an extraordinary novel such as Frankenstein? Clues are dotted throughout Georgian science and popular culture The years before the book's publication saw huge advances in our understanding of the natural sciences in areas such as electricity and physiology for example Sensational science demonstrations caught the imagination of the general public while the newspapers were full of lurid tales of murderers and resurrectionists Making the Monster explores the scientific background behind Mary Shelley's book Is there any science fact behind the science fiction? And how might a real-life Victor Frankenstein have gone about creating his monster? From tales of volcanic eruptions artificial life and chemical revolutions to experimental surgery 'monsters' and electrical experiments on human cadavers Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Shelley and inspired her most famous creation"

| "Making the Monster : The Science Behind Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" |
| "The year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time Frankenstein Or Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on gothic horror and science fiction genres The name Frankenstein has become part of our everyday language often used in derogatory terms to describe scientists who have overstepped a perceived moral line But how did a 19-year-old woman with no formal education come up with the idea for an extraordinary novel such as Frankenstein? The period 1790-1820 saw huge advances in our understanding of electricity and physiology Sensational science demonstrations caught the imagination of the general public and newspapers were full of lurid tales of murderers and resurrectionists It is unlikely that Frankenstein would have been successful in his attempts to create life back in 1818 However advances in medical science mean we have overcome many of the stumbling blocks that would have thwarted his ambition We can resuscitate people using defibrillators we can save lives using blood transfusions and we can prolong life through organ transplants - these procedures are nowadays considered almost routine Many of these modern achievements are a direct result of 19th century scientists conducting their gruesome experiments on the dead Making the Monster explores the science behind Shelley's book From tales of reanimated zombie kittens to electrical experiments on human cadavers Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Mary Shelley and inspired her most famous creation Victor Frankenstein While thankfully we are still far from being able to recreate Victor's 'creature' scientists have tried to create the building blocks of life and the dream of creating life-forms from scratch is now tantalisingly close"
