The book. What is it really about? What world events brought it to Mary Shelley’s mind? Who are the monsters and who are the protagonists? What was the author trying to say through this story? Let’s kick it around here. We’re reading the original 1818 text rather than the edited 1831 text most commonly available. Frankenstein (Norton Critical Editions)
includes literary criticism, both concurrent with the original offering and current day.
