With like many great works of art, 'Frankenstein' was initially misunderstood. The first reviews were decidedly mixed. An anonymous review in The Literary Panorama and National Register published June 1 1818 dismissed Shelley's work as 'a feeble imitation of one that was very popular in its day.' Other periodicals were kinder. Writing in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine on 20 March 1818, Walter Scott praised the unusual Gothic Romance as a "tale, though wild in incident, is written in plain and forcible English, without exhibiting that mixture of hyperbolical Germanisms with which tales of wonder are usually told." 'Frankenstein and the Critics' presents a selection of the most prominent reviews from the time of Frankenstein's publication. Also included is Mary Shelley's uncensored 1818 text often labeled 'Frankenstein 1818' presented in its unabridged entirety. This is the original, 1818 text. In 1831, the more traditionally first "popular" edition in one volume appeared.

Autorenporträt
Nata nel 1797 da William Godwin e Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley è stata una scrittrice inglese, considerata una delle più importanti autrici del Romanticismo. È conosciuta soprattutto per aver scritto Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, considerato uno dei primi romanzi di fantascienza. Oltre alla sua carriera letteraria, Shelley si occupò della promozione delle opere del marito, il poeta Percy Bysshe Shelley. I suoi contributi alla letteratura gotica e romantica hanno lasciato un'impronta duratura nel mondo della narrativa.
