Shelley started writing when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 21. The first edition was published anonymously in London in . Shelleys name appears on the second edition, published in . The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful.
