Mary Shelley's Author's Edition
Sort of like Director's Cut, but with an eraser
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been published without the edits added by Percy Shelley.
"Percy never met a monosyllable that he didn't want to make a polysyllable," Mellor says. "Percy thought he was heightening her prose style, making it sound more erudite." So the monster walks around "sounding as if he's Horace."
Hmm. You can get a copy through Amazon UK, but The Book Depository will ship it free anywhere.
