Romantic Outlaws was passed onto me by a very good friend, @keeperofpages and I have to admit, sat on my TBR for a while as I was intimidated by how large it was! However, once I eventually picked it up, I found it difficult to then put it down. The writing style is both intelligent and engaging and I learned so much more about these fascinating women than I had ever expected to. ⁣ ⁣ This is a nonfiction book exploring the lives of Mary Wollstonecraft, writer, philosopher and advocate for women’s rights and her daughter, Mary Shelley, writer most famously of the novel Frankenstein. With each alternating chapter we hear from each of the Mary’s in turn as the author explores their respective careers, their individual triumphs and their aching sadnesses. ⁣ ⁣ I left Romantic Outlaws feeling much more educated and informed about two women who were each pioneers in their own way. It was terrible to read about their private tragedies (which I had been completely unaware of), but it gave me an ever greater respect for how they managed to weather these times in their lives. ⁣ ⁣ Reading a book like this only gives me a greater hunger for more information about Wollstonecraft and Shelley. They were passionate, fiercely determined and of course, majorly less appreciated in their time than they should have been. I’ll also be seeking out any and all other books from Charlotte Gordon - a phenomenal writer. ⁣ ⁣ Four and a half stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 💫 ⁣ #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #romanticoutlawstheextraordinarylivesofmarywollstonecraftandmaryshelley #charlottegordon #feministnonfiction #maryshelley #marywollstonecraft #womeniadmireandrespect #maryshelleyfrankenstein #recommendednonfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CiidHbFrkuK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

9th September 1737, birth of Italian doctor, physicist and philosopher Luigi Galvani. Galvani discovered that he could animate the muscles of a dead frog’s legs by applying static electricity to them. Following this he was able to show a connection between electricity and life; he named the discovery ‘animal electricity’. His discovery led to the scientific discoveries of galvanism and bioelectricity. He is recognized as the pioneer of bioelectromagnetics. Galvani’s nephew and defender Giovanni Aldini, later progressed from repeating the experiment to attempting the reanimation of hanged criminals. The reports of Galvani’s experiments were read by Mary Shelley, and influenced her in the writing of Frankenstein. 10th September 1797, death from septicemia of English writer, philosopher, and early pioneer of women’s rights, Mary Wollstonecraft, best known for her 1792 work ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman’. After two ill fated love affairs with the artist Henry Fuseli, and the American adventurer Gilbert Imlay, Wollstonecraft met and married the political philosopher and novelist William Godwin, author of ‘Political Justice’, and ‘The Adventures of Caleb Williams’. After only six months of marriage, Mary Wollstonecraft died eleven days days after giving birth to their daughter Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, who later married Percy Bysshe Shelley, becoming Mary Shelley. Scandalized during her lifetime, for her writing and unorthodox lifestyle, Wolstonecraft was marginalized for the majority of the 19th century. Her works and ideas were revived however, during the re-emergence of the feminist movement at the beginning of the 20th century, (Continued in the comments). #galvanism #luigigalvani #electricity #18thcentury #18thcenturystyle #18thcenturyhistory #bioelectricity #maryshelley #maryshelleysfrankenstein #maryshelleyfrankenstein #frankenstein #marywolstonecraft #avindicationoftherightsofwoman #feminismhistory #henryfuseli #percyshelley #feministmovement #tarotcards #tarotcardsdaily #tarotprint #tarotprints #tarotillustration #historicalillustration #gothictales #aceofwands #suitofwands #queenofpentacles #suitofpentacles #wands #pentacles https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpbKxvlFSC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)

I saw this film for the first time recently to get into the Halloween spirit. I’m not a huge Frankenstein fan overall, so naturally I didn’t expect to be that entertained. Wow! I was so pleasantly surprised. The story kept me in suspense throughout. To top it off, Robert DeNiro plays the nameless monster that the scientist, Victor Frankenstein created. Check out these amazing movie stills from the film.

Many seem to forget that Mary Shellys Gothic Fantasy "Frankenstein" was animated to life on to our screens long before it's time at Universal Studios. Produced by Thomas Edison's very own Edison Studios, 1910s J. Searle Dawley's Frankenstein has been widely considered the first American horror film. Although thought to be lost up until the 1970s when it was recovered from the infamous Alois Dettlaff's private collection, 'Frankenstein' has been established as one of the greatest silent shorts within the early horror genre. The 1910 short movie of Frankenstein is a self-described liberal adaptation of the story, but one with a surprising aesthetic flair. If nothing else, it's a sharp insight into how the iconography of the story has shifted over the year and what audiences' perceptions of Frankenstein were before Universal came to define it for several generations. It's also an insight into how, even from the earliest point in cinema's history. The first version of "Frankenstein" is not only valuable for its enormous importance, but also for its artistic qualities as a version of the novel. While a few may try to disregard it due to it's visual quality and its stagy style, it is one of the films that show the progression of cinema as a narrative art form. Despite its short runtime, it is a very entertaining and fascinating movie that still manages to be impressive after all these years. Decades before Universal Studio's and Hammer took hold. Fans of the novel and horror fans in general, this is a definite must see, although there are a few adaptations that I personally prefer I cannot escape the historically significant this short-story is to the world of Horror and cinema. For that 1910s Frankenstein I give a 8/10 ~Mr Myers #horrormoviesreviews #horrormovies #1910frankenstein #frankenstein #maryshelleyfrankenstein https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtTDoxFyB7/?igshid=1fsuyux2aoxat

“I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man” Captain Robert Walton In 1985 on Livingstone Island off the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the remotest and extreme locations on the planet, a human skull and a femur were discovered by a team of researchers from Chile. Thinking that the bones were recent they analyzed them and discovered that they had lain at the site they were found for over two hundred years. They were astounded, the island was first sighted on the 19th February 1819 by English mariner William Smith, with the continent itself postulated by Captain James Cook, and later confirmed in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev; part of an international race, not unlike the space race between Britain and Russia, to lay claim to the discovery of the last unknown parts of the globe. Further analyzing the bones, the researchers were able to claim that they had lain at the site since between 1819 and 1825. Another mystery also presented itself, not only were the bones of the first person to ever set foot on the island, twenty years before Antarctic land was confirmed, simultaneously in January 1840 by the United States Exploring Expedition, under Charles Wilkes, and a separate French expedition under Jules Dumont d'Urville; they also belonged to a woman. Further, both expeditions never actually set foot on the land they sighted, this would not occur until an Norwegian expedition in 1895. Therefore this unknown woman set foot on land in the continent of Antarctica some seventy years (continued in the comments). #antartica #19thcentury #19thcenturyhistory #regencygothic #thesublime #ageofdiscovery #artic #articexpedition #maryshelley #maryshelleyfrankenstein #maryshelleysfrankenstein #frankensteinsmonster #drfrankenstein #thursdaytales #darkromantic #darkromanticism #historymystery #gothicfiction #classicliterature #classicliteraturequotes #gothichistory #gothictales #historystory #historicalstories #darkhistory #historicaltales #deadwriters #livingstoneisland #antarctica #southpole https://www.instagram.com/p/CSevobbnnKa/?utm_medium=tumblr

20th April 1736, French mathematician Pierre Louis Maupertuis begins his Lapland expedition to measure the latitude and shape of the earth, and to prove his theory influenced by Issac Newton, that the Earth is oblate. He is joined by fellow scientists , Charles Etienne Louis Camus, Alexis Clairaut, and Pierre-Charles Le Monnier and Anders Celsius; the Swedish astronomer and proponent of the Celsius temperature scale. Celsius died on the 25th April 1744, aged 42. 21st April 1820, During a lecture at the University of Copenhagen, Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted is the first to identify electromagnetism, when he observes a compass needle deflected by a nearby battery. The connection between electricity and magnetism is now known as Oersted's law. Alessandro Volta’s invention of the voltaic pile in 1800, and his rivalry with Luis Galvani, who in 1780 discovered that he could animate the muscles of a dead frog’s legs by applying static electricity to them; had led Ørsted to study electricity. Four years previously during the year without a summer in 1816, Mary Shelley had read Galvani’s work, the experiments of electricity appearing in her subsequent novel Frankenstein published in 1818. Arctic exploration also is featured in Frankenstein, influencing Mary Shelley alongside the new electrical discoveries of the age.

12th May 1828, birth of English Pre-Raphaelite founder, poet and painter Gabriel Dante Rossetti, nephew of John William Polidori, author of the first modern Vampire story, ‘The Vampyre’, published in 1819, and brother to poet Christina Rossetti, and writer and critic William Michael Rossetti. In 1848 Gabriel Dante Rossetti, alongside his brother and artists William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which attempted to revolutionize English art through a return to medieval aesthetics and symbolism. In 1850, Rossetti met Elizabeth Siddal, who would become over the next decade his muse, model and lover. In 1862 she died possibly by suicide of an overdose of laudanum. Grief stricken Rossetti buried all of his poetry with her at her grave in Highgate cemetery. Later digging them up, he descended into depression and addiction, dying in 1872. In 1894, Rosetti’s sister Christina died, and was also buried at Highgate. Highgate Cemetery was opened in 1839, to replace the medieval practice of burials in small parish churches. With the population of London more than doubling during the late 18th and early 19th century, this had led to a dangerous overcrowding of burials. Stories from prior to the cemeteries opening, talk of mourners witnessing their loved ones graves being dug, whereupon another was discovered, if the grave was within five, the remains were stomped into the ground to provide space for a new burial on top. Older burials were removed and cast aside to allow space, with coffins burned for firewood. This overcrowding had led parish churches to simply pile the dead into their church basements, (continued in the comments) #preraphaelite #preraphelites #rosetti #highgatecemetery #highgatecemetary #gothicvictorian #victoriangothic #victoriangothicstyle #vampirefiction #vampireaesthetic #vampireart #gothicfiction #johnwilliampolidori #thevampyre #horrorfiction #regencygothic #gothichistory #gabrieldanterossetti #victorianhistory #victorian #gothiccemetery #maryshelley #maryshelleyfrankenstein #michaelfaraday #gothictales #19thcenturyhistory #gothicillustration #historicalillustration #highgatevampire #vampirehistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0wAikH6nP/?igshid=1c3sb9ut5imth

❄️ 🇷🇺 27th January 1820, the existence of the sixth continent of Antarctica is proven by the Russian Antarctic expedition led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev. The first navigator to cross the Antarctic circle had been James Cook on January 17, 1773. Cook had believed that due to the insurmountable ice he had found, a possible continent beyond was impossible to reach. 🇬🇧 Three days later, on the 30th January 1820, a British expedition captained by Edward Bransfield sighted Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica, but the discovery of Antarctica was ultimately credited to Bellingshausen and Lazarev. The nautical race to map what was believed to be the last geographic areas of the globe, had in the early years of the 19th century caused a political rift between Britain and Russia. In 1817 fears were expressed that Russia would be the first country to explore the North West Passage, ironically on the following day of the Antarctic discovery in 1807, the irish explorer Robert McClure, who would discover the Northwest passage in 1854, was born. In 1817 fears were expressed that Russia would be the first country to explore the North West Passage, and the popular imagination was fueled by what lay there. These expressions are best exemplified by Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, published in 1818, the same year that the age of Arctic exploration began. The story describes Captain Robert Walton’s quest to discover the romantic and dangerous hidden arctic world, and contrasts his obsession with that of Dr. Frankenstein’s, whom he finds there, and recounts his story.
