This carefully crafted ebook: "Frankenstein - The 'Uncensored' Original 1818
Edition” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of
contents. 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; or, The Modern Prometheus 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. The first edition was published anonymously in London
in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in
1823. 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 competition to 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.
