Description
Publisher's Description of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (Wordsworth Classics)
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Siv Jansson, University of Greenwich.
Frankenstein is the classic gothic horror novel which has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story which she intended would ‘curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.’ The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery and thriller. Victor Frankenstein, driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living breathing articulate entity, it turns on its maker and the novel darkens into tragedy. The reader is very quickly swept along by the force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel. Although first published in 1818, Shelley’s masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has been the inspiration for numerous horror movies, television and stage adaptations.
This edition uses the 1831 version of the text.

The High School guides offer many familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press. With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building, dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application.

Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and content.
