How did Mary Shelley's Frankenstein give rise to the iconic green monster everyone knows today? In 1823, only five years after publication, Shelley herself saw the Creature come to life on stage, and this performance shaped the story's future.

Similarly, early adaptations magnified the reception and renown of all manner of nineteenth-century literary creations, from Byron and Kea.
