When and where does Frankenstein take place?

The story begins with
letters written by oneto his sister, Mrs. Saville, as he journeys toward the North Pole in an
effort to make some important discoveries that he hopes will benefit humankind and confer glory
on him. His first letter is written in St. Petersburgh, Russia, and
his second is posted from Archangel, in Northern Russia. As he
travels further north by ship, he eventually reaches the polar
region, and this is when his ship becomes trapped in the ice and he
meets.

When Frankenstein begins to tell his story to Walton, the story begins
in his home in Geneva, Switzerland. When he comes of age, he is
sent away to college in Ingolstadt, Germany, a city in the Bavarian
region of that country. Later in his life, he travels with his family to the valley of
Chamounix, in southeast France. He also travels with his best
friend, , to the United Kingdom, visiting England and Scotland.
This is where he begins to build the second creaturewhich he eventually destroys.

Whendescribes his experiences, he describes the woods in
Germany where he met the DeLacy family, and this is where he lived
for the majority of his miserable existence.

The entirety of the tale seems
to take place at the end of the eighteenth century and, perhaps, carries over into the
early-nineteenth century.
