Wolfson presents the 1818 version of Mary Shelley's famous novel in its cultural and historical contexts. Like all great works of fiction, <I>Frankenstein</I> gains depth and dimension from its "conversation" with contemporary texts, especially those by Shelley's own parents, husband, and friends. A lively introduction is complemented by a chronology coordinating Shelley's life with key historical events and a speculative calendar of the novel's events in the late eighteenth century. In addition to the 1818 text, this cultural edition features the introduction to and a sample revision of the 1831 version. New to this Edition is Frankentalk, a section of selected references to <I>Frankenstein</I> in the popular press, and the complete text of Richard Brinsley Peake's <I>Frankenstein, A Romantic Drama</I>, the first stage version of Frankenstein.</P>
