Percy Shelley doodling while helping his wife edit the draft of her first novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818):

The idea for the story was devised in mid-June 1816. The draft shown here was written between August and December 1816, and it was revised until April 1817. The book was published January 1st 1818 when Mary was 20-years-old. She was only 18 when she conceived the story, as her 19th birthday was on August 30th 1816.

A 15th Century tour of Hell

Medieval monks had themselves one hell of a time imagining the demons awaiting sinners in Hell. The illustrations are from Livre de la Vigne nostre Seigneur (Bodleian MS. Douce 134), a treatise on the Antichrist, the last judgement, and Heaven and Hell.

Matthew Goode being studious and roaming libraries

(Incidently both are supposed to be the Bodleian in Oxford).

Many similarities and also vastly different characters and vibes (testament to Matthew's incredible acting that he so disappears into his character).

Certainly Professor Lewis is far more serious than Professor Clairmont and not trying to cause mischief with a certain witch 😆

📷 My edits from Freud's Last Session (2023) official trailer and film* (West End Films/Sony Pictures Classics)

* In the trailer, we have a front view of Lewis walking through the library but a backview in the film. Whose idea was that 😭

Also, deleted scene (from script): "51 EXT. OXFORD. Lewis walks through Oxford to the doors of Bodleian Library."

Missed opportunity to have yet another shot of Matthew in front of the Bodley

This is one part of The Duke Humfrey's Library which was added by Sir Thomas Bodley (who the Bodleian is now named after) who offered to restore it in 1598. When he was attending Oxford University, the library did not even have a ceiling as it had been stripped and abandoned during the Reformation.
