| Item Description: | Reproduction of Bodleian Library MS. Abinger c. 56 and c. 57. "Mary's draft, the orginal manuscript of Frankenstein, was written in two large notebooks over a period of nine months. Its pages, reproduced here, reveal the novel in its early stages and invite the reader into the young author's creative process. Percy Shelley's annotations and corrections run throughout the draft, forming a dialogue between the two writers and lovers. Through the numerous corrections, additions and changes, the reader can see the text being reworked and strengthened as the novel's famous monster takes form and becomes more human." -- Editor's note. Many of the manuscript pages bear numbers, but they are not sequential throughout the volume, since they were written in two separate notebooks; the last numbered page of the manuscript is 203. "1,000 copies of this limited edition have been printed on Fedrigoni Avorio paper"--Verso of the title leaf. The Cushing Library/Science Fiction copy is number428 and contains an authentication page laid in. Pages [322-326] and last page are blank. Issued in slipcase. |
