Interactive Frankenstein Timeline - Explore the world of Mary Shelley

So often, when looking at a text like Frankenstein, we fail to appreciate the full context in which the work was written.

What kind of world was Mary Shelley born into? What was happening at the time? Who else was writing at the time?

Let's look at the image on the left, for instance. This is a little excerpt from the Frankenstein timeline on Crossref-it.info.

• It shows you when Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein (1816).
• It shows what was happening politically and economically
• It shows who else was writing
• And it gives a really good overview of the turbulent events in her own life around that time.

What all this means is that you are able, just by glancing over one web page, to get a really good feel for what the world was like for Mary Shelley. Definitely an advantage for your exam revision!

It is for this reason that at Crossref-it.info we supply extensive time lines for the various study guides. In fact, a vast time line, currently stretching from 1330 to 1930 forms the back bone of all the content on Crossref-it.info!
