| Summary: |
"This Norton Critical Edition features the 1818 first edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This famed gothic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a devoted science student, obsessed with creating human life by assembling the reanimating the combined remains of the recently deceased. Frankenstein is quickly repulsed by the creature he created. Living in rejection and loneliness, the creature's innocence is replaced with anger and resentment as he plots his revenge against his creator. The 'Contexts' in this Norton Critical Edition include discussion of changes to Frankenstein over time, reception and impact, and a look into sources and influences. 'Criticism' explores topics like order and extinction, ecocriticism, and racial science. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"-- |
