Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley
Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Mary Shelley's 1831 Edition is the definitive version of Shelley's iconic Gothic novel, first published in 1818, with the 1831 edition offering significant revisions by the author. This edition includes a new preface by Shelley, in which she reflects on the novel’s origins, the themes of ambition and creation, and the philosophical underpinnings of the story. The novel follows Victor Frankenstein, whose desire to push the boundaries of science leads him to create a living being from inanimate matter. However, upon bringing the creature to life, Frankenstein is horrified by its grotesque appearance and abandons it, leaving the creature to suffer isolation and rejection. As it seeks revenge, the novel explores themes of responsibility, humanity, and the consequences of scientific overreach. Shelley's Frankenstein continues to resonate today as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the ethical dilemmas of creation, establishing itself as a seminal work in both Gothic and science fiction literature.
