Using Shelley's seminal work, ‘Frankenstein,' the essay puts forward the suggestion that the author was describing the now diagnosed condition of schizophrenia as her protagonist's ‘madness.' As such, could this be Shelley anticipating the social traits of the Twentieth Century and be seen as a precursor to postmodern thought?
