===Literature=== [[File:Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.tif|thumb|187x187px|Mary Shelley]] [[Mary Shelley|Mary Shelley's]] ''[[Frankenstein]]'', wherein a man stitches together a human body from corpses and brings it to life, was inspired in part by the theory and demonstrations of Galvanism which may have been conducted by [[James Lind (physician, born 1736)|James Lind]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Para. 10, Intro., Shelley|first=Mary|title=Frankenstein|year=1831}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Lind, James (1736-1812) on JSTOR|url=https://plants.jstor.org/stable/10.5555/al.ap.person.bm000033179|access-date=2021-05-08|website=plants.jstor.org|doi=}}</ref> Although the Creature was described in later works as a composite of whole body parts grafted together from cadavers and reanimated by the use of electricity, this description is not consistent with Shelley's work;<ref>{{Cite web|title=Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (First Edition, 1818)/Volume 1/Chapter 3|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Frankenstein,_or_the_Modern_Prometheus_(First_Edition,_1818)/Volume_1/Chapter_3}}</ref> both the use of electricity and the cobbled-together image of Frankenstein's monster were more the result of James Whale's popular [[Frankenstein (1931 film)|1931 film adaptation of the story]].
