Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition Thus. Solid hardcover bound in mildly stained and soiled full purple cloth with unmarked interior and text. The dust jacket remains unclipped ($7.50) with soiling to the panels and mild wear along the edges. This is the definitive scholarly text of…Mary Shelley's masterpiece which has proven to be quite influential. Rieger makes a persuasive case that the 1818 text is the one to be read: it's better, for one, and has less interference from the revisionary hand of Percy. This edition includes the full 1818 text of Frankenstein, along with the complete text of Mary Shelley's Introduction to the Third Edition (1831), as well as an appendix collating the 1818 and 1831 texts; also included are Lord Byron's "Fragment" from the famous ghost-story contest; and the complete text of John William Polidori's The Vampyre; A Tale. Increasingly uncommon in this condition, and now out of print in hardcover. xlv, 287pp.
