Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus
by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Fragmented scans of the opening of Frankenstein, including the initial letters from Robert Walton to his sister and the beginning of the narrative, with some pages containing no text. OCR is moderately needed due to pages with text and some image-only pages.
Great questions to ask
- Summarize the motives and ambitions of Robert Walton as expressed in Letter 1.
- What is the frame narrative or epistolary structure introduced in the opening of Frankenstein?
- Identify the setting and time frame of Walton's voyage as described in the letters.
