Description
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, now presented with unparalleled depth and historical precision, invites readers to experience her groundbreaking novel in a whole new light. This lavishly illustrated edition features over 200 images and nearly 1,000 annotations that bring the author's early nineteenth-century world to vivid life. Through its meticulously researched pages, this annotated edition reveals Frankenstein as more than just a cautionary tale about experimental science gone wrong - it is a complex exploration of tragedy, morality, social commentary, and the very nature of knowledge. By reproducing Shelley's original text alongside these extensive annotations, renowned author Leslie S. Klinger sheds new light on the novel's enduring influence on science fiction, feminist theory, modern intellectual history, film history, and popular culture. This sumptuous volume offers a multifaceted portrait of Mary Shelley, a young novelist who defied her era's restrictions on female ambitions by supporting herself and her children as a writer and editor.
