In her travels with Piercy Shelley (her 'husband') they encounter the fortress Frankenstein in Germany. (The Franks (the French) were originally from Germany and this was their principle site. In German Frankenstein means 'Rock of the Franks') When they (Mary and Piercy) were there the fortress was being used as a scientific laboratory in electro-statics, a new science at the time. One of the curiosities of electro-statics was its relation to living things. (Frogs legs would jump when jolted with a charge.) This is very much the scene of Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory in the novel.
