Within the constraints of space and illustration imposed by The Keepsake, Robinson notes in his introduction, Mary Shelley produced some of her most intense and incandescent writing.
"Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus, The Pennyroyal Edition".
From the bits and pieces of dead bodies and the power of electricity, the brilliant Victor Frankenstein fashions a new form of life - only to discover, too late, the irreparable damage he has caused. This title tells the story of the creation of man, or monster. Intended for young readers, it is part of the "Classic Starts[trademark]" series.
Shelley's second novel, focuses on the intricate details of 13th-century Tuscan politics, with a resolute filtering of the bloody heroics of the age through the sensibilities of two women who are destroyed by them. A feminist perspective so conspicuously missing from "Frankenstein" is revealed.
