Description
Mary Shelley took her famed novel in hand once more and made this new form in 1831. It is the text most readers have known since that year. She added a long new start, in which she tells how the tale came to her in 1816.
The frame of the tale is reworked, and Victor's fate bears a more dark and fixed cast. The being he made stands in a more grave light, and the blame shifts in tone. This is Frankenstein as Shelley at last chose to leave it to the world.
