Gothic at its best
Mary Shelley was the daughter of the famous feminist and author, Mary Wollstonecraft, who is best known for her work The Vindication of the Rights of Women.In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a young university student, Victor Frankenstein, obsesses with wanting to know the secret to life.He studies chemistry and natural philosophy with the goal of being able to create a human out of spare body parts.After months of constant work in his laboratory, Frankenstein attains his goal and brings his creation to life.Frankenstein is immediately overwrought by fear and remorse at the sight of his creation, a "monster."The next morning, he decides to destroy his creation but finds that the monster has escaped.The monster, unlike other humans, has no social preparation or education; thus, it is unequipped to take care of itself either physically or emotionally.The monster lives in the forest like an animal without knowledge of "self" or understanding of its surroundings.The monster happens upon a hut inhabited by a poor family and is able to find shelter in a shed adjacent to the hut.For several months, the monster starts to gain knowledge of human life by observing the daily life of the hut's inhabitants through a crack in the wall.The monster's education of language and letters begins when he listens to one of them learning the French language.During this period, the monster also learns of human society and comes to the realization that he is grotesque and alone in the world.Armed with his newfound ability to read, he reads three books that he found in a leather satchel in the woods.Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther, Milton's Paradise Lost, and a volume of Plutarch's Lives.The monster, not knowing any better, read these books thinking them to be facts about human history.From Plutarch's works, he learns of humankind's virtues.However, it is Paradise Lost that has a most interesting effect on the monster's understanding of self.The monster at first identifies with Adam, "I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence."The monster, armed only with his limited education, thought that he would introduce himself to the cottagers and depend on their virtue and benevolence; traits he believed from his readings that all humans possessed.However, soon after his first encounter with the cottagers, he is beaten and chased off because his ugliness frightens people.The monster is overwrought by a feeling of perplexity by this reaction, since he thought he would gain their trust and love, which he observed them generously give to each other on so many occasions.He receives further confirmation of how his ugliness repels people when, sometime later, he saves a young girl from drowning and the girl's father shoots at him because he is frightful to look at.The monster quickly realizes that the books really lied to him.He found no benevolence or virtue among humans, even from his creator.At every turn in his life, humans are judging him solely based on his looks.The monster soon realizes that it is not Adam, the perfect being enjoying the world, which he is most alike.Instead, he comes to realize that he most represents Satan.The monster is jealous of the happiness he sees humans enjoy that he has never attained for himself.The monster tells Frankenstein that he found his lab journal in his coat pocket and read it with increasing hate and despair as he came to understand what Frankenstein's intent was in creating him.The monster curses Frankenstein for making a creature so hideous that even his creator turned from him in disgust.

Shelley's intent here is plain to see."The fate of the monster suggests that proficiency in `the art of language' as he calls it, may not ensure one's position as a member of the `human kingdom."In a sense, she is showing that both her parents were mistaken when they advocated greater education reform for people.They thought education would make people better, which in turn would improve society for all.Mary Shelley's Frankenstein contradicts this belief.

Starting with the full title of Mary Shelley's book, Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus one can instantly see that mythology was integral to her book.Lord Byron, poet and friend of the Shelley's was writing a poem entitled Prometheus, and Mary was reading the Prometheus legend in Aeschylus' works when she had a dream, which was the impetus for her book.The Greek god Prometheus, is known for two important tasks that he performed, he created man from clay, and he stole fire from the gods and gave it to man.The stealing of fire really angered Zeus because the giving of fire began an era of enlightenment for humankind.Zeus punished Prometheus by having him carried to a mountain, where an eagle would pick at his liver; it would grow back each day and the eagle would eat it again.

The presence of fire and light in this gothic story helps to point to the similarities to Prometheus and Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster, in Shelley's book.The book uses light as a symbol of discovery, knowledge, and enlightenment.The natural world is full of hidden passages, and dark unknown scientific secrets; Victor's goal as a scientist is to grasp towards the light.Light is a by-product of fire that the monster learned quickly when he is living on his own.The monster experienced fires' duality when he first encountered it in an unattended fire in the woods.He is mesmerized by the fact that fire produces light in the darkness in the woods, but is shocked at the sensation of pain it gives him when he touches it.Victor is defiant of god in the same way that Prometheus was defiant of Zeus.Victor steals the secret of life from god and creates a human out of spare body parts.He does this out of an altruistic wish to spare humankind from the pain and suffering of death.Thus, Victor Frankenstein embodies both aspects of the Promethean myth creation and fire.Victor in a sense has the same experience with the fire of enlightenment similar to his monster; he is "burned" by the fire of enlightenment.Victor also suffers from the classic Greek tragic condition of hubris for his transgression against god and nature.

The book also adopts two other great mythic legends.One is Adam from the Bible.Victor Frankenstein bears striking resemblance to Adam and his fall from grace for eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.The other is Satan, a mythic figure that Shelley admired from her readings in Milton's book Paradise Lost.In an interesting juxtaposition of booth myths, she expands on the motif of the fall from grace in her book when she portrays the monster comparing himself to Adam; after he read, Milton's book Paradise Lost.The monster tells Victor, that he at first identifies with Adam God's first creation."I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence."However, after several incidents of mistreatment that he suffered from the humans he encountered in his travels; the monster soon realized that it is not Adam, the perfect being enjoying the world, which he was most alike.Instead, he came to realize that he most represented Satan.The monster's feelings of hatred and despair stem from the fact that humans found him grotesque to look at and would not accept him as a member of human society.The monster cursed Victor for making a creature so hideous that even his creator turned from him in disgust.Thus, it is obvious for all to see that Shelley's Frankenstein is replete with mythological references and they are central to the plot.

Seneca.—MarvelFs Trans.Twelve years previous to the opening of this tale, an English gentleman, advanced to middle age, accompanied by an infant daughter, and her attendant, arrived at a settlement in the district of the Illinois in North America. It was at the time when this part of the country first began to be cleared, and a new comer, with some show of property, was considered a welcome acquisition. Still the settlement was too young, and the people were too busy in securing for themselves the necessaries of life, for much attention to be paid to any thingbut the " overt acts" of the stranger—the number of acres which he bought, which were few, the extent of his clearings, and the number of workmen that he employed, both of which were, proportionately to his possession in land, on a far larger scale than that of any of his fellow colonists. Like magic, a commodious house was raised on a small height that embanked the swift river—every vestige of forest disappeared from its immediate vicinity, replaced by agricultural cultivation, and a garden bloomed in the wilderness. His labourers were many, and golden harvests shone in his fields, while the dark forest, or untilled plain, seemed yet to set at defiance the efforts of his fellow settlers; and at the same time comforts of so civilized a description, that the Americans termed them luxuries, appeared in the abode and reigned in the domestic arrangements of the Englishman, although to his eye every thing was regulated by the strictest regard to republican plainness and simplicity.He did not mingle much in the affairs of thecolony, yet his advice was always to be commanded, and his assista... ...

Fabulous insite to Mary Shelley's life
I loved this book.Mystically it brought me a better understanding of Mary Shelley's life.Unfortunately I was forced to read it in a dusty room in the basement of Cambridge's library because no one has it in stock.The publisher MUST reprint this book because it is an absolute must for all Mary Shelley fans.Don't just stop at Frankenstein, there is so much more grotesque writing of Mary Shelley to experience. ...

Fascinante.
Una obra realmente fantástica, estoy en total acuerdo con que sea una de las mejores y más reconocidas obras en la lieratura gótica, una simple joya.
Me gustó mucho el concepto, la historia en general; ¿Cómo no sentirse identificado con aquella desgraciada criatura? Privado de la felicidad desde su nacimiento, condenado a una existencia sin el menor gesto de simpatía por parte de la gente. Él era un ser tan amoroso, pero, por culpa de esta cruel sociedad sólo guiada por las apariencias, lo malinterpretaban, lo lastimaban...
Incluso, tratando de ser una persona benévola con sus enemigos, ellos no lo aceptaban como su igual, y lo peor fue cuando su propio creador, su "padre" lo haya rechazado del mismo modo, hasta borrar su compasión y arrevatarle su último indicio de esperanza.
Una historia realmente cautivadora, centrándose principalmente en el sentimiento, no me sorprende que se encuenre dentro del género Romántico.
Se ha vuelto de mis predilectos, lo recomiendo mucho.

Product Description

"Recognition of Mary Shelley's systemic dual focus on public and domestic power as the means to interrogate traditional norms and propose alternatives materially alters parochial perceptions of her objectives and her achievements. Her novels, outside of Frankenstein, and recently, The Last Man, have been dismissed as simple, mutual dissociated "romances" or experiments in genre solely to intersect with a market niche; they are neither. Rather, they and all of Mary Shelley's major works voice a cosmopolitan, socio-political reformist ideology that evolved as their author's acute awareness of world events enabled her to calibrate her literary voice to deal with unfolding rather than past societal issues. Her multidisciplinary fusion of literature, political philosophy, and history calls for a commensurate multidisciplinary reading in order to understand the complexities of both the author and her works." -- Betty T. Bennett

In this book, Betty T. Bennett offers an extensively expanded version of the introduction she wrote for Pickering and Chatto's eight volume set, The Novels and Selected Works of Mary Shelley. Along with her insightful retelling of Mary Shelley's eventful life story, Bennett gives us a fresh reading of Frankenstein in the context of its author's full career. She also discusses a variety of Mary Shelley's lesser known works, including Matilda, Valperga, The Last Man, Perkin Warbeck, Lodore, Falkner, and her travel books. The result is a compelling portrait of Mary Shelley as she saw herself -- an inventive, irreverent writer whose desire for political and social reform was at the heart of her literary expression for three decades.

Product Description
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by Mary Shelley. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18 and the novel was published when she was 20. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended incorrectly to refer to the monster as "Frankenstein". Frankenstein is infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the expansion of modern man in the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. ... Read more

A MASTERPIECE!!!
This book should be on the shelf on anyone who considers themselves and lover of illustrative art and great literature!The story of Frankenstein as crafted by Mary Shelly is a work of literary genius and then add to it Bernie Wrightson's fantastic art and you have a MASTERPIECE in your hands!Though it should be noted that this book is quite dense and is not by any means a comic 'picture book'.This has more the feel of an old illustrated classic from the late 1800's.But, very well done and beautifully presented in this handsome hard cover edition.A MUST HAVE!!!

The Essential Edition of the Horror Classic
I bought Bernie Wrightson's trade paperback edition when Marvel published the title in 1983. I hesitated picking up Dark Horse's reprint until I chanced upon a copy at Border's. This is a gorgeous edition that every horror fan must have on their shelf. Dark Horse pulled out all the stops to make this an event publication. Cloth bound with slick pages. This book is a true work of art and an amazing bargain given Amazon's pricing. Worth every penny. This is the only edition of Mary Shelley's book you'll ever need. Bernie Wrightson's artwork is stunning and Dark Horse Books proves once again why they are the best in the business.

donaciano
I had peviously owned a copy of the book, but unfortunately it suffered water damage in a home that I was renting. The story is timeless but Wrightson's illustrations with pen and ink are stunning. The book arrived in pristine condition. I am very pleased with my purchase.

wonderful
The art work in this book is so amazing. The pen and ink work is so precise. I got to meet Bernie Wrightson and he explained how he came up with his ideas for the book. I also got him to sign the book for me.

One of the Greatest
Frankenstein is by far one of the greatest books ever written.Few other novels measure up to it.I did not realize this the first time I read it, when it was required reading for high school.At that time, I hated it.But, as was usual in my high school experience, the life was sucked out of it and it was greatly misinterpreted by the teacher.So, if you have had such a reading experience with this book, please do not judge it based on that.

If you are not familiar with the actual tale presented in this work of literary brilliance, please pay NO attention to Hollywood's portrayal of the story.This is not a tale about a scary, soulless, killing machine that goes on a rampage whilst the poor, defenseless creator sits back helplessly and innocently.It is a sad, touching tale about abandonment, prejudice, acceptance, and much more.In reading it, you will discover who the true monster of the tale is - and it isn't the poor creature.

As for this edition of the novel, I think that it is fantastic.I love this books so much that I really felt that I needed to have a hardcover edition.I'm very happy that I selected this one.The illustrations are excellent and plentiful.I am easily amused, so I was delighted to discover that the book has a ribbon attached to the spine so you can easily mark your pages.This is by far one of the most unique books in my collection.I love it.Buy it! ...
