This novel provides insights into the origins of the book Frankenstein and other gothic novels, as well as poems of Lord Byron and Percy Shelley and other British Prometheans, with many insights into the back story of the progressive idealistic movement from pre-Victorian era, which have many lessons to teach for our world today. This novel spans the entire life of Mary Shelley, the teen author of "Frankenstein," from her early rebellious years until reaffirmation of religious traditions in the British Anglican Church. It includes family stories of her stepsisters Claire and Fanny, stepbrother Charles, father Dr. William Godwin - the famous British atheist author and gothic novelist, her mother Mary Wollstonecraft - the famous British feminist author, who died at Mary's birth - and her stepmother Mary Jane Clairmont, the elementary teacher who lived next door with two illegitimate children with rich American fathers. This novel highlights how Dr. Godwin met his two wives, the childhood adventures and pranks of Mary and her sister Claire - to be inspired by gothic novels, early science fiction fantasy and ghost stories - to act out and write their own stories and plays. Mary inherited talent to write gothic fictions, as both her parents wrote gothic novels - as well as her future husband Percy Shelley - and actually wrote the first draft of "Frankenstein" when she was barely 15 years old, when Mary, Claire and Shelley ran away from the Godwin household to visit the Swiss estate of Lord Byron for a summer vacation to join a contest to write the best gothic horror story that not only resulted in the pioneer novels 'Frankenstein' and 'Vampyres', but also an ill-fated plan by the Promethean poets to back and participate in an ill-fated mercenary venture to attempt to sabotage and overthrow the Ottoman Empire in Greece. The original story of "Frankenstein" was not primarily a monster horror story as it was rewritten by authors and Hollywood movies and TV after she died - but was instead a progressive idealistic political cautionary metaphoric tale about use of science and newest technology to 'stitch together best parts of all the nations of the world into a unified political; body' - that could become either a hero like Prometheus - or an out of control tyrannical monster. After that historic summer at Lake Geneva when Mary and Claire were innocent teens; but by the time they were in their early twenties, they both suffered tragedy and poverty to be disinherited by their parents, and to have several children as single mothers - and both Percy Shelley and Lord Byron died young after their ill-fated attempts to wage a personal war against the Ottoman Empire to free Greece from Turkey to add to the British Empire - as both died under mysterious circumstances - Shelley in an explosion at sea, and Byron only a few months later like Alexander in his own bed. Mary and Claire then returned to Britain, both pregnant with children of Shelley and Byron, but are rejected by their parents as fallen women. Eventually, they reconcile, as they all convert to Anglican Christianity, and live out the rest of their lives writing books and plays to denounce their past support for atheism, free love and feminist progressive views - and to produce plays such as 'Frankenstein' and other gothic novels as cautionary morality tales, and to write and publish poetry and books of inspiration to simple lives of moral virtue and discipline - and to also support the education of women at same level as men. Some content may be disturbing, yet is based on actual historical events - and is itself a moral cautionary tale to deal with teen premarital sex and pregnancy - so recommended for mature secondary or early college English literature and creative poetry, drama, or language arts students - as well as readers who are older and interested in this period of history or genres - and has also been adapted as a screenplay for a Hollywood feature movie pr
