FRANKENSTEIN - MARY SHELLEY TASCHENBUCH

Frankenstein  or  The Modern Prometheus is the original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition of
Frankenstein as first published anonymously in 1818. This original version is much more true to
the spirit of the author's original intentions than the heavily revised 1831 edition  edited by
Shelley  in part  because of pressure to make the story more conservative. Many scholars prefer
the 1818 text to the more common 1831 edition. Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley
about a creature produced by an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the
story when she was nineteen  and the novel was published when she was twenty-one. Shelley had
travelled in the region of Geneva  where much of the story takes place  and the topics of
galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions 
particularly her future husband  Percy Shelley. The storyline emerged from a dream. Mary  Percy
Lord Byron  and John Polidori decided to have a competitionto see who could write the best
horror story. After thinking for weeks about what her possible storyline could be  Shelley
dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. She then wrote
Frankenstein.
