We all know who Frankenstein is, right? Except I’m not so sure we do. I had an argument with a student last semester who wouldn’t let go of the idea that Frankenstein was the name of the monster in the original text (even though she hadn’t read it). It seems that Frankenstein as the name of the monster is a popular misconception. What was growing up like for a guy who could create such a monster? What led him to the place he ended up? This Dark Endeavor is the story of young Victor Frankenstein – a story full of adventure, science and alchemy, sword fighting and the dissection of a lynx.
