- Synopsis
- "In this new edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, David Wootton's Introduction gives the reader both a clear and gripping account of the biographical circumstances that led to the novel&’s writing and the most striking and original interpretations of its central themes and of the intellectual and cultural influences on them. Offering a new account of the complex history of its composition, and drawing upon his deep knowledge of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scientific debates, Wootton reveals the ways in which the origins of Shelley&’s novel are inextricably linked to conceptions of the origins of life itself. We have here a transformative reading of one of the world&’s best-known stories."—Laura Marcus, Goldsmiths&’ Professor of English Literature and Fellow of New College, University of Oxford
