MARY SHELLEY - GEBRAUCHT FRANKENSTEIN THE 1818 ...

For the bicentennial of its first publication  Mary Shelley's original 1818 text  introduced by
National Book Critics Circle award-winner Charlotte Gordon. Nominated as one of America's
best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read 2018 marks the bicentennial of Mary
Shelley's seminal novel. For the first time  Penguin Classics will publish the original 1818
text  which preserves the hard-hitting and politically-charged aspects of Shelley's original
writing  as well as her unflinching wit and strong female voice. This edition also emphasizes
Shelley's relationship with her mother-trailblazing feminist Mary Wollstonecraft  who penned A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman-and demonstrates her commitment to carrying forward her
mother's ideals  placing her in the context of a feminist legacy rather than the sole female in
the company of male poets  including Percy Shelley and Lord Byron. This edition includes a new
introduction and suggestions for further reading by National Book Critics Circle award-winner
and Shelley expert Charlotte Gordon  literary excerpts and reviews selected by Gordon  and a
chronology and essay by preeminent Shelley scholar Charles E. Robinson. For more than seventy
years  Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking
world. With more than 1 800 titles  Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best
works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide
authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and
contemporary authors  as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
