In 1849, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley’s heart were brought to the 
graveyard of St. Peter’s Church in Bournemouth, where they were buried 
with the remains of Mary Shelley’s parents Mary Wollstonecraft and 
William Godwin.


In 2018, Arts University Bournemouth and St. Peter’s Church, in 
association with Bournemouth University, celebrate the bicentenary of 
the publication of Mary Shelley’s most famous work /Frankenstein, or the 
Modern Prometheus/ (1818) as part of the Shelley Frankenstein Festival. 
The academic conference, located at this unique venue, will offer new 
and re-situated perspectives on Mary Shelley and her writings, her 
family and circle, and her most famous work.  We are pleased to 
acknowledge colleagues at Bournemouth University for their 
organisational support.
