具体描述
Frankenstein was Mary Shelley's immensely powerful contribution to the ghost stories which she, Percy Shelley, and Byron wrote one wet summer in Switzerland. Its protagonist is a young student of natural philosophy, who learns the secret of imparting life to a creature constructed from relics of the dead, with horrific consequences. Frankenstein confronts some of the most feared innovations of evolutionism: topics such as degeneracy, hereditary disease, and mankind's status as a species of animal. The text used here is from the 1818 edition, which is a mocking expose of leaders and achievers who leave desolation in their wake, showing mankind its choice - to live cooperatively or to die of selfishness. It is also a black comedy, and harder and wittier than the 1831 version with which we are more familiar. Drawing on new research, Marilyn Butler examines the novel in the context of the radical sciences, which were developing among much controversy in the years following the Napoleonic Wars, and shows how Frankenstein's experiment relates to a contemporary debate between the champions of materialist science and of received religion. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感
书中的Frankenstein, 创造了一个monster, 憎恶地连名字都没给他起，就离开了。 读完书，更加感谢上帝，心怀慈爱地创造了我们，并赋予我们爱与被爱的能力，让我们有同伴。 同时也让我更加思考为人父母的责任之重大。正如曾经打车时一位出租车师傅说：孩子并没有要求来到这个世界...
评分 评分如果造出了一个丑陋的怪物怎么办？人们选择唾弃他，弗兰肯斯坦选择抛弃他。 如果生出了一个残疾的小孩怎么办？有的父母选择继续抚养，而有的父母选择无情地抛弃。 其实，这些问题都是相似的。 怪物的名字不叫弗兰肯斯坦，弗兰肯斯坦是创造怪物的人。怪物没有名字。 上帝造出...
评分 评分其实就是大名鼎鼎的《弗兰肯斯坦》，这个故事的家喻户晓可能还得归功于好莱坞的电影。最初我以为这是一个极好消遣时间的小说。恐怖的医学实验，科学怪人变态杀人手法以及科学家的扭曲人格等等恐怖元素都是我非常期待的。 然而结果还是让人蛮失望的，科学怪人只杀了似...

评分历经爱，他也会成为剪刀手爱德华吗？
评分2018.5.22-2018.5.27
评分再读觉得那段pre-linguistic stage的语言还是漏洞大了点，MS并没有花太多心思在如何用语言表达前语言状态的感知和思维上。
