Description: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, David Wootton In this new edition of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this new edition of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, David Woottons Introduction gives the reader both a clear and gripping account of the biographical circumstances that led to the novels 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 Shelleys novel are inextricably linked to conceptions of the origins of life itself. We have here a transformative reading of one of the worlds best-known stories. - Laura Marcus, Goldsmiths Professor of English Literature and Fellow of New College, University of OxfordA superb edition of Shelleys troubling masterpiece, with lucid explanatory notes and rich contextual material on the biographical, cultural, and scientific background to the text. Woottons Introduction is a tour de force of revisionist scholarship, and his bold new arguments about Frankensteins reworking of Promethean myth, its engagement with Romantic-era science, and the sources and significance of its arctic frame-tale will set the agenda for future debate. - Thomas Keymer, Chancellor Henry N.

Woottons Introduction is a tour de force of revisionist scholarship, and his bold new arguments about Frankensteins reworking of Promethean myth, its engagement with Romantic-era science, and the sources and significance of its arctic frame-tale will set the agenda for future debate." —Thomas Keymer, Chancellor Henry N. R. Jackman University Professor of English, University of Toronto"Woottons new edition presents Shelleys Frankenstein in a vivid new light. Informed by his immense erudition in the histories of both science and political thought, his brilliantly lucid Introduction pieces together the books complex and sometimes conflicting elements, and proposes several new interpretations. Generously annotated throughout, and with a judicious selection of related writings and contemporary reviews, this will be the go-to text for all students of the novel." —Seamus Perry, Professor of English Literature and Fellow of Balliol College, University of Oxford Long Description In this new edition of Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, David Woottons Introduction gives the reader both a clear and gripping account of the biographical circumstances that led to the novels writing and the most striking and original interpretations of its central themes and of the intellectual and cultural influences on them.
