| Popis | Since its anonymous publication in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus was subjected to many a speculation about its authorship. Widely considered the work of her husband, the poet and radical thinker Percy Bysshe Shelley, the notion of male authorship prevails even today. This research aims to examine the contribution of Mary Shelley’s husband to her gothic novel. This will be achieved through consulting the original Frankenstein manuscript with emphasis on the Shelleys’ conversation in its margins and making use of the current study of the pair’s handwriting. It will put Percy Shelley’s thematic and stylistic alterations into their historical and biographical context and analyse their effect on the story. By its conclusion, it will be apparent that Mary Shelley’s fluid text, despite the presence of a second hand in it is, above all, her creation. |
