One of my favorite books, and then completely forgot to #Repost yesterday from @onthisdayela ・・・ On this day in ELA: January 1, 1818 – Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus was published anonymously in London. After commercial success and much speculation as to the text’s authorship, the second edition was published in 1823 with Mary Shelley’s name on it. Shelley faced extreme sexism and criticism from critics, who accused her of being unworthy of her father or her husband’s name. Although the book is still widely read and taught today, Shelley died penniless and virtually friendless at the age of 53. 📚 . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #frankenstein #maryshelley #horror #modernprometheus #victorfrankenstein #whowastherealmonster #hint #itwasvictor https://www.instagram.com/p/B607ylIhcLB/?igshid=u19dv4n7nk05
