Frankenstein (Norton Critical Editions)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The best-selling student edition on the market, now available in a Second Edition.
Almost two centuries after its publication, Frankenstein remains an indisputably classic text and Mary Shelleyâ€™s finest work.

This extensively revised Norton Critical Edition includes new texts and illustrative materials that convey the enduring global conversation about Frankenstein and its author. The text is that of the 1818 first edition, published in three volumes by Lackington, Hughes, Harding, Mavor, and Jones. It is accompanied by an expansive new preface, explanatory annotations, a map of Geneva and its environs, and seven illustrations, five of them new to the Second Edition.

Context is provided in three supporting sections: â€œCircumstance, Influence, Composition, Revision,â€ â€œReception, Impact, Adaptation,â€ and â€œSources, Influences, Analogues.â€ Among the Second Editionâ€™s new inclusions are historical-cultural studies by Susan Tyler Hitchcock, William St. Clair, and Elizabeth Young; Chris Baldrick on the novelâ€™s reception; and David Pirie on the novelâ€™s many film adaptations. Related excerpts from the Bible and from John Miltonâ€™s Paradise Lost are now included, as is Charles Lambâ€™s poem â€œThe Old Familiar Faces.â€

â€œCriticismâ€ collects sixteen major interpretations of Frankenstein, nine of them new to the Second Edition. The new contributors are Peter Brooks, Bette London, Garrett Stewart, James. A. W. Heffernan, Patrick Brantlinger, Jonathan Bate, Anne Mellor, Jane Goodall, and Christa Knellwolf.

A Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.
