THE ERA OF INGENUITY THAT SPARKED SCIENCE AND FICTION

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was conceived against the backdrop of rapid change in the scientific world. Frankenstein and the Birth of Science offers an engrossing insight into the world of science in late eighteenth– and early nineteenth–century Europe, through the prism of the seminal science fiction novel. Illustrated with line drawings and colour plates, it reveals how the monster was conceived, suggests the real-life basis for Victor Frankenstein and describes in vivid detail the experiments that might have led to the Creature’s birth. It also looks at incarnations of the DREAMS OF FORGOTTEN ALCHEMISTS monster since the book was published entirely lost.” Waldman is far more considered, acknowledging the and modern interpretations of the “mad History & Reference History DREAMS OF value of the groundwork laid by the alchemists, but extolling the FORGOTTEN ALCHEMISTS virtues of the brave new world of “modern chemistry”: scientist”, as well as looking ahead to The modern masters . . . penetrate into the recesses of nature . . .

Frankenstein and the Birth of BIRTH OF A NEW SCIENCE invisible world with its own shadows. Science looks back at science’s progress and Inspired by this vision, Frankenstein vows to master the modern science in order to achieve the ancient dreams of the alchemists – forward to its potential. mastery over creation, perhaps over death itself. ary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at a time of excitement In Frankenstein, then, are embodied the tensions of the new and optimism about science in general, and chemistry chemical era, between its ancient baggage and its modern aspirations. M in particular. Chemistry represented the cutting edge of early-nineteenth-century science: a youthful field of enquiry, taking its first steps among the more established sciences such as physics and mathematics. But the novel aspects of chemistry imperfectly concealed its dark, almost shameful past as the art of alchemy; an inheritance of murky mysticism and shady occultism. Shelley very deliberately frames her central character at the intersection of these two worlds of chemistry; he is to be both a paragon of the new chemistry and an initiate of the old ways. His youth is spent “greedily imbibing” the works of the alchemists such as Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus: “fancies a thousand years old and as musty as they are ancient”. Frankenstein reflects on how he “retrod the steps of knowledge along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries 14 of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists”. TO MOCK THE INVISIBLE WORLD Arriving in the university town of Ingolstadt to advance his learning and be introduced to the world of natural philosophy, Frankenstein encounters two faces of the new chemistry, professors Krempe and Waldman. Krempe dismisses the alchemists as purveyors of THE DISMAL SEASON “exploded systems and useless names”, scolding Frankenstein that A fifteenth-century alchemist, Basilius Valentinus, surrounded by symbolic representations of his craft. “every instant that you have wasted on those books is utterly and inhabitants of Sumbawa just 26 survived, while the total death toll in THE DISMAL SEASON the region has been estimated at around 100,000.
