This is a great introduction to the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly. This powerpoint presentation is 18 slides long (9 slides in the free preview). It introduces what triggered the novel to be created, the beginning of vampiric literature that accompanied it with Palidori's 'the vampyre', the evolution of the novel and its characters and what the true points of the book are. It is a very useful tool to use before reading or teaching "Frankenstein" including thoughtful questions to guide reading and discussion as well as real life examples to assist in the discussions.
Would not recommend it as introduction to book...mediocre.

A great PPT for a foundation to introduce Mary Shelley and Frankenstein, especially if no other Romantic/Gothic literature has been explored previously.
