Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus

An Arctic explorer meets a stranger with a story of scientific ambition, isolation and pursuit. As Victor Frankenstein tells his past, another voice asks to be heard: that of the being he made and abandoned.

This edition, in English, uses Mary Shelley’s 1831 revision and adds her introduction, notes on the historical language and the references to Coleridge, Milton, Percy Shelley, Wordsworth and others, plus an editor’s introduction, a character guide and a chronology.
