Frankenstein (Original 1818 'Uncensored' Edition)

This is the original text of Frankenstein as published in 1818. A much tighter, swifter text than the heavily revised 1831 edition, edited by Shelley, in part, to make the story more conservative.

We monks poo-poo conservatism.

This edition includes the essay "Mother Frankenstein" by Brother Jonathan, O. S. B.
