Victor Frankenstein

In this episode of Compact Biographies, we tell the life story of Victor Frankenstein, the fictional scientist at the centre of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, as though he were a real historical figure. From his privileged childhood in Geneva and studies at Ingolstadt to his obsession with natural philosophy, the creation of the Creature, the deaths that followed, and his final pursuit into the Arctic, this is the story of a brilliant man whose ambition outran his judgement.
