Could someone tell me something on the topic "The romantic concern with creation" in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Scientists in the Romantic era (late 1700s and early
1800s) were all looking to turn lead into gold.  The study of
alchemy was devoted to this chemical process, and it
consumed the attentions of the public and academic communities alike.  Today, it sounds
like a get-rich-quick scheme, but then it seemed feasible.  It was a kind of Midas
touch.  Or like trying to discover the Fountain of
Youth.

So, this process crossed over into the biological
sciences.  The quest became trying to find the secret to everlasting life or how to
re-animate life from death.  It had been done with insects and small animals, I think,
and so scientists and authors played with the idea of doing it with humans.  As you
know, this idea has become a reality today with human and animal cloning and genetic
engineering.

In terms of literature, there was a resurgence
in classicism.  Many Romantic authors and poets fell in love with ancient Greek and
Roman mythology, much of which were concerned with the creations of the earth, human
life, and fire.  The subtitle for Frankenstein, in fact, is
The Modern Prometheus.  Prometheus is the god who gave mankind the
secret of fire and was forever punished by Zeus for it.  So, Mary Shelley creates a new
work of art from an ancient mythical concept.
