Sinopse
Características

With like many great works of art, Frankenstein was initially misunderstood. The first reviews were decidedly mixed. An anonymous review in The Literary Panorama and National Register published June 1 1818 dismissed Shelleys work as a feeble imitation of one that was very popular in its day. Other periodicals were kinder. Writing in Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine on 20 March 1818, Walter Scott praised the unusual Gothic Romance as a tale, though wild in incident, is written in plain and forcible English, without exhibiting that mixture of hyperbolical Germanisms with which tales of wonder are usually told. Frankenstein and the Critics presents a selection of the most prominent reviews from the time of Frankensteins publication. Also included is Mary Shelleys uncensored 1818 text often labeled Frankenstein 1818 presented in its unabridged entirety. This is the original, 1818 text. In 1831, the more traditionally first popular edition in one volume appeared.
