Frankenstein

Macdonald and Scherf's edition of Frankenstein has been widely acclaimed as an outstanding edition of the novel - for the general reader and the student as much as for the scholar. The editors use as their copy-text the original 1818 version, and detail in an appendix all of Shelley's later revisions. They also include a range of contemporary documents that shed light on the historical context from which this unique masterpiece emerged.
