 * TOPIC: Comparisons to artwork. **

Mary Shelley's //Frankenstein// was published in 1818. View some of the artwork below from the same time period. Compare what you see in the works to specific passages and details from //Frankenstein//. Do you find comparable sensibilities that represent feeling of the time period? Students should also feel free to link to other artwork in the course of the discussion. And remember that a discussion means that you post ideas, but that you also respond to the ideas of others.
