Lovecraft was racist and classist so that was a thing to navigate, and liked his exposition and complicate words (always the same ones, it would seem) but Shelley shouldn't be an issue. I love Frankenstein and it's a very easy read compared to the other Romantic writers at the time. Here's a heads up: it's suspected the prologue or intro (not sure what it was) was written by Percy, so if that looks dreadful, that's why. Mary's writing is much smoother, so skip that first bit if you need to.
