Can you remember your first encounter with the story of Frankenstein? Your first time, that is, in the company of the monster, perhaps the archetypal monster, the ‘Creature’ of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s imagination and devising in her novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus? Was it a meeting facilitated by reading her 1818 or 1831 edition, though? Or was it an abridged or a conflated version you accessed? Was your point of entry perhaps not via Shelley’s novel at all
