Raising the dead : the men who created Frankenstein / Andy Dougan. by Dougan, Andy. Berlinn Ltd., 2017, c2008. Call #: 509.034 D731r Subjects Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, 1797-1851.

Summary:  Mary Shelley's 1818 novel, Frankenstein, introduced readers around the world to the concept of raising the dead through scientific procedures. Those who read the book were thrilled by this incredible Gothic adventure. Few, however, realized that Shelley's story had a basis in fact. What she imagined as her modern Prometheus was a serious pursuit for some of the greatest minds of the early 19th century. It was a time when scientists genuinely believed, as Frankenstein did, that they could know what it feels like to be God. Raising the Dead is the story of the science of galvanism. Andy Dougan is the author of Dynamo: Defending the Honour of Kiev. He is a freelance writer based near Glasgow.
