Bookwormjillk Hello Flowers in the Attic how off putting. I know, a different time. 23h
JenlovesJT47 Hmm that last sentence in the chapter was a tad bit creepy, no? 😳 #obsessed 23h
Clare-Dragonfly Apparently Beaufort is the name to use for men who make terrible money choices. 22h

dabbe #mytwocents Two versions of FRANKENSTEIN were published: one in 1818, and one in 1831. The more popular one is the 1831 version. In that one, Elizabeth is “adopted“, but in the 1818 version, she was Alphonse's niece and Victor's real cousin. By 1831, Shelley had experienced the death of two children and her husband, which gave her a more pessimistic view on the story and made her more morally cautious. She also softened Victor's character. 18h
Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe I wondered which version I had—Project Gutenberg wasn‘t clear! Now I know I have the 1831 text. What an interesting change. Thank you! 17h
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly I hoped the Elizabeth distinction would help! Not a lot of issues list the publication date! No idea why. 😍 16h
Bklover @dabbe- thanks for the info!🩵. I didn‘t know there were two versions. Victor is going to be an interesting character 🤨 12h
