Description
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Annotated for Scientists, Engineers and Creators of All Kinds is a unique edition of the 1818 novel that explores its scientific, ethical and cautionary aspects. Begun as a ghost story by an intellectually and socially precocious author during a cold summer, the dramatic tale of Victor Frankenstein and his stitched-together creature can be read as a parable of scientific hubris. The novel is often discussed in literary-historical terms, but Mary Shelley was keenly aware of contemporary scientific developments and incorporated them into her story. This edition pairs the original manuscript with annotations and essays by leading scholars exploring the social and ethical aspects of scientific creativity raised by this remarkable story. The result is a thought-provoking edition that will resonate with readers with a background or interest in science and engineering. With meticulous line-editing and amendments, this edition brings together the original text and expert analysis to create a unique and accessible version of one of the most influential novels ever written.
