Author, Poet, Screenwriter, and speaker Sarah Archer is joining Fika with Vicky this week for one of our Classic Conversations. This week we’re focussing on the classic Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus which was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. 

There will be scandal, heart wrenching realities, lost love, and unwise loves. (Yes, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, I’m pointing at you.) And all that’s before we even get to the novel. Please join us as we look into this work, by a 19 year old, that still has us enthralled over 200 years later.

About Fika with Vicky - 

Eternally curious about life, Vicky learned early that answers could be found in stories. Whether those stories were tales of ghosts told by her grandmother or read on Romper Room with milk and cookies, she found herself transported to other worlds.
Reading to her own children, she developed an appreciation for picture books, and the illustrations that accompanied them. It was then that she realized great truths could be found with the simplest of words, and that children’s books are not only for children. Through their reading she saw how vast the Juvenile and Young Adult genres had become, and the way in which they brought understanding to difficult topics. 
    Having written her own stories, in Stick to the Story the Book, Vicky began to be interviewed. And that’s when everything clicked. The idea that she could speak to the people behind the stories she loved, and learn more about them, was too tempting to ignore. Fika with Vicky was born in 2019, and with it a desire to share her passion for used book stores on rainy afternoons, folklore and fairytales, and those moments when an author solidifies all you’ve been thinking in one sentence.

Fika With Vicky - Author Sarah Archer - Frankenstein And Mary Shelley

Drae Shelley Remix

Inspired by what I'm currently reading: Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Listening to this on loop as I read it. Enjoy.

Made with Logic Pro.

Frankenstein

A setting of Shelley's "Mutability" for soprano, mezzo-soprano, and piano performed by Kayla Wilkins, Anna DeGraff, and Kurt Knecht on Sept. 13, 2024.

                                         I.
We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;
    How restlessly they speed and gleam and quiver,
Streaking the darkness radiantly! yet soon
Night closes round, and they are lost for ever:—

                                         II.
Or like forgotten lyres whose dissonant strings
    Give various response to each varying blast,
To whose frail frame no second motion brings
    One mood or modulation like the last.

                                        III.
We rest—a dream  has power to poison sleep;
    We rise—one wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:—

                                       IV.
It is the same!—For, be it joy or sorrow,
    The path of its departure still is free;
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
    Nought may endure but Mutability.
