The bicentennial for the publication of Frankenstein is this year, so some folks are marking the occasion with projects dedicated to Mary Shelley and her work:
Two hundred years later, Arizona State University launched The Frankenstein Bicentennial Project — a cross-disciplinary, multimedia endeavor to engage the people of today with the timeless issues of science, technology, and creative responsibility posed by Shelley’s searching intellect and imagination. As part of the celebration, MIT Press published Frankenstein: Annotated for Scientists, Engineers, and Creators of All Kinds (public library) — Shelley’s original 1818 manuscript, line-edited by the world’s leading expert on the text and accompanied by annotations and essays by prominent contemporary thinkers across science, technology, philosophy, ethics, feminism, and speculative fiction. What emerges is the most thrilling science-lensed reading of a literary classic since Lord Byron’s Don Juan annotated by Isaac Asimov.
We are working on preparing a new digital edition of the novel Frankenstein in its first three editions for the bicentennial of its first publication in 1818. Our edition is a digital collation of five distinct versions of the novel produced between 1816 and 1831.
