The annotated edition by Austi Classics draws out Mary Shelley's choice of subtitle, 'the Modern Prometheus', and investigates the implications of the subtitle for our understanding of Frankenstein. The Austi Classics edition is available at Amazon here.
So much has been written about Frankenstein and so many wonderful and entertaining presentations of Frankenstein have been made - see Frankensteinia blog - for an interesting and thorough list. When we scratch the surface of the subtitle, or alternative title, which is 'the Modern Prometheus', a whole gamut of additional ideas, concepts and speculations tumble out of Mary Shelley's novel.
