Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851), is best known for her novel “Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus.” (1818, revised 1831), part Gothic and part philosophical, an early example of science fiction. She also wrote Valperga (1823), The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck (1830), Lodore (1835), and Falkner (1837); The Last Man (1826), an account of the future destruction of the human race by a plague, is often ranked as her best work.

FADE IN EXT. SHORTER UNIVERSITY – DAY In Fall 2018, the new Digital Production concentration in Communication Studies will be offering a new course: COM 3200 Scriptwriting (Tuesday & Thursday 9:30-10:45 a.m.). In this hands-on writing course, students will learn how to write and revise short scripts in Final Draft, paying particular attention to such elements as the log line, premise, dramatic structure, conflict, character, backstory, and dialogue. In addition, students will read and study screenplays. From anapodoton and parataxis to the complex sentence, students will also explore rhetoric, grammar, and syntax from the scriptwriter’s perspective. The course will climax with students registering their final scripts with the Writer’s Guild of America West and entering their short scripts in film festivals via FilmFreeway. Contact Professor Jones for more details: cwjones@shorter.edu. FADE OUT
