century resources, a search engine, from Milton to Keats this site

I found the product a strong motivational tool for further investigation of the Frankenstein legend and all of its related artistic areas.
When I introduced it to students in my media center and asked for critiques from them, the response was overwhelmingly positive from students at all levels. I would certainly incorporate this CD-ROM into our media center collection and would expect it to receive wide use by students and staff alike.
It has my strongest endorsement as a unique resource which touches virtually every discipline in our school curriculum.

Who would have thought there was any connection between Frankenstein and the invention of photography or the legend of Saint George and the dragon? The CD-ROM ties together Frankenstein Cliff in the White Mountains, the ruins of a castle near Darmstadt, Germany, the American artists Godfrey and George Frankenstein, and the Frankenstein monster. Around these core topics are intriguing connections with such diverse figures as Captain John Smith, Goethe, and Louis XIV.
