18187950<p>This is a volume of the publication "The Quarterly Review" that contains a rare early possibly the first book review of the classic horror tale "FRANKENSTEIN or The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley. 1818; John Murray; London. Volume XVIII comprised of the October 1817 and January 1818 issues. This review was published in January 1818 - the same month as the January 1818 first publication of Frankenstein. The book title is also listed within the table of contents at the front of the January issue and in the Index at the back of the volume. The rather scathing review spans seven pages and was written by John Wilson Croker - he writes "Our readers will guess from this summary what a tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity this work presents" and ponders "whether the head or the heart of the author be the most diseased." The "New Publications" section within the October issue contains a notice for new JANE AUSTEN works: "Northanger Abbey a Romance; and Persuasion a Novel. By the Author of Pride and Prejudice Mansfield Park &c. with a Biographical Notice of the Author." Note: This volume contains two separate issues - October 1817 No. XXXV and January 1818 No. XXXVI.however the title page at the beginning of the volume curiously states "May" 1818 and not "January" 1818.<br /><br />Condition:<br />There are splits at the corners of the spine though both covers are firmly attached. The corners of the back cover are worn. Tight binding with no loose pages. Nice interior - the pages are mostly clean with only some mild foxing to the first 10 or so and the last 10 or so pages; pages 65-71 have a small light stain at the top edge. Old bookplate affixed to the front pastedown. Overall the book is in Good condition.</p> John Murray hardcover

1993BIBLIO-31718Clarendon Press Oxford first edition 1993. Cloth gilt cover-titles in frame 8vo 23 cm. lii 592 pp facs map. From the introductory note: "This edition contains all of Shelleys prose writings except the early Gothic novels and the notes to Queen Mab and to Hellas. Note- this Volume I contains the prose written before Shelley left England in early March 1818 : material written later will fall within Volume II. Significant among several items appearing here for the first time in any collected edition of Shelleys prose works are the Declaration in Chancery On Zionism On the Improvvissatore Sgricci A Definition of Atheism the Cry of War to the Greeks and the fragment On Contraception. While An Answer to Leslies A Short and Easy Method with the Deists has been previously published in disparate parts in collected editions its reintegrated form like most of the above works has appeared only in periodical publication. On the other hand it has seemed expedient to print the Letters Written in Geneva under that title rather than continue to subsume them under the general head of the History of a Six Weeks Tour. The Letter on Richard Carlisle has been previously published only among the poets letters as has the fragment On Learning Languages' the short draft here entitled A Faustian Note associated with the latter is previously unpublished." From a review by Stuart Curran in the Keats-Shelley Journal ".quite simply although it may seem unimaginable this is an authoritative text. The expertise that informs this volume is as good as one gets: assured of all grounds everywhere profiting from the skills of modem coworkers on the manuscripts unobtrusively in charge of every detail of textual historical or critical complexity and representing them all with an exemplary clarity and fidelity to fact. And where facts cannot be unambiguously ascertained Murray has had the good sense to eschew the practices of almost all his predecessors and say so. Very Good. Clarendon Press, Oxford, first edition, 1993 hardcover
