Mapping Frankenstein’s World: 200 years of Mary Shelley’s monster
Third Thursday in the Clark Library
"I never saw a more interesting creature: his eyes have generally an expression of wildness, and even madness…" Thus is the world introduced to the famed Dr. Victor Frankenstein. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and we invite you to join us on October 18th for a cartographic celebration. Featuring maps and texts of Mary Shelley’s world, we will also track the journey of Frankenstein’s notorious monster, look at Victor Frankenstein and Mary Shelley’s own travels, and examine the countryside that inspired this marvelous tale. Step back into the early 19th century and explore the world of Frankenstein and his monster with us!
Third Thursday is a monthly open house that showcases the highlights of the Clark Library’s vast collection. These fun, thematic events are open to everyone, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps and other materials.
