Mary Shelley’s Gothic Dundee
26 August, online
SWI members free; non-members £6.13
Mary Shelley was sent to Dundee as a teenager, & it was here, so she claimed in the 1831 edition of FRANKENSTEIN, that her eerie imagination was first stirred. What was so “gothic” about Dundee in the 1810s? And how did it inspire her? Prof Daniel Cook investigates.
