Frankenstein wasn' t the only classic horror novel created by a woman. . . England, 2126. Edmund Montague is a national hero in the army, while his younger brother, Edric, is lazy but very intelligent. Edric yearns for notoriety of his own, albeit academic. So he hatches a plan with a German scientist - his tutor - Dr. Entwerfen, to resurrect a mummy. Is Edric a more rational Victor Frankenstein? Originally published in 1827, within a decade of the 1818 publication of Mary Shelley' s Frankenstein, seventeen-year-old Jane Webb created Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century. A futuristic story of reanimation, robots, and the concept of a living, functional mummy with the wisdom of the ages eager to share his insights with humanity. This pioneering tale offers an engaging mix of comedy, politics, and science fiction.

The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century

Jane Webb (Jane C. Loudon, 1807-1858) was a British writer best known for creating the first popular gardening manuals. Born into a wealthy family, she was orphaned at the age of 17 and began writing to support herself. Her first major work, THE MUMMY! A TALE OF THE TWENTY-SECOND CENTURY was published anonymously in 1827 when she was twenty years old. Many believe that she was inspired by Mary Shelley' s FRANKENSTEIN, which had published less than a decade prior. THE MUMMY! is considered a pioneering work of science fiction, and the first English language story to feature a reanimated mummy.
