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.
