In 1849, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley’s heart were brought to the graveyard of St. Peter’s Church in Bournemouth, where they were buried with the remains of Mary Shelley’s parents Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin.
In 2018, Arts University Bournemouth and St Peter’s Church, in association with Bournemouth University, celebrate the bicentenary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s most famous work Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818) as part of the Shelley Frankenstein Festival. The academic conference, located at this unique venue, will offer new and re-situated perspectives on Mary Shelley, her family and circle, and her most famous work. We are pleased to acknowledge colleagues at Bournemouth University for their organisational support.
With papers from speakers all around the world, this is truly an interdisciplinary and international event covering everything from medicine to politics, literature to film, architecture to robots.
