Plot
Summary: In the summer of 1816, Percy Shelley,
his mistress Mary, and her stepsister Claire visit
Lord Byron at Lake Geneva. Byron challenges each to
write a horror story, and Mary begins her novel, Frankenstein.
She imagines the monster becoming real, and for the
next six years, as tragedy befalls those around her,
she believes the personification of her imagination
is the cause. Against this backdrop, Claire has Byron's
baby then is estranged from him and barred from her
daughter. Byron and Percy continue their friendship,
the one self-centered and decadent, the other wildly
idealistic. The Shelleys take up residence near Pisa.
