Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus
The author’s 1831 introduction recalls the making of the novel, companionship and revision. Read the selected personal recollection in that introduction, then distinguish it from the novel’s characters. This revised edition offers related reading, not proof of the edition used by every supplied quotation.
