D.L. Macdonald and Kathleen 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. New
to this edition is a discussion of Percy Shelley's role in
contributing to the first draft of the novel. Recent scholarship
has provoked considerable interest in the degree to which Percy
Shelley contributed to Mary Shelley's original text, and this
edition's updated introduction discusses this scholarship. A new
appendix also includes Lord Byron's "A Fragment" and John William
Polidori's The Vampyre, works that are engaging in their own right
and that also add further insights into the literary context of
Frankenstein.
