The Monthly Review - or, Literary Journal, 1818 Volume LXXXV (with an early review of "FRANKENSTEIN" by Mary Shelley)

Descripción

This is a volume of the publication "The Monthly Review ~ or, Literary Journal" (Volume LXXXV) that contains a rare book review of the classic horror tale "FRANKENSTEIN or The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley. 1818; J. Porter; London. The rather uncomplimentary review appears in the April, 1818 issue and was written anonymously - the reviewer refers to the novel as "an uncouth story" and argues that "a serious examination is scarcely necessary for so eccentric a vagary of the imagination as this tale presents." This review was published only a few months after the January, 1818 first publication of Frankenstein. The book is also listed within the table of contents at the front of the volume. Condition: The gilt title on the spine has faded. Unfortunately this copy is missing both the front and back covers. The pages, however, are in very nice condition with only some occasional mild foxing. There is a bit of paper remnant affixed to the top edge of the rear end paper. Overall in Fair condition due to the missing covers, else very good. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-1678994036052
