Did you know that
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley published two different versions of
Frankenstein? I never did until I worked the reference desk today. Most of the
Frankenstein's released today are the 1831 version--the 2nd edition that she released. In her preface to the 2nd edition, she states that she only did minor changes from first to second edition. As a former English literature major, I really would like to sit and read both versions to see the differences for myself. What about you? Would you want to know what an author changed from one version to another? If so, then you can read the
Mary Shelley Reader to read the original 1818 version.
Those are the recommendations for today. See you tomorrow!
