Fiona Sampson at the National Library of Wales
23 May 2018
As part of the bicentenary celebrations of the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Professor Sampson, author of the critically acclaimed In Search of Mary Shelley, explores Romantic ideas of selfhood, modernity and biography through Mary Shelley's own life and work, revealing how these helped the teenager create Frankenstein.
Following a year of radical protest and change for women in creative industries, Sarah Perry (author of The Essex Serpent, Waterstones Book of the Year 2016) is joined by Fiona Sampson (author of In Search of Mary Shelley: The Girl Who Wrote Frankenstein) and Peggy Hughes (Programme Director, Writers' Centre Norwich), for a celebration of women and writing which focuses on three important anniversaries: 80 years of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, the 100th birthday of Muriel Spark, and the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This event will be chaired by Caroline O'Donoghue.
