A Demonstration of Frankenstein: The Pennsylvania Electronic
Edition
This page includes selections from Letter
1 of the Pennsylvania Electronic Edition of Frankenstein,
edited by Stuart
Curran, and two accompanying essays of mine: "Workshop of Filthy Creation, Cyberspace Division,"
delivered at the 1996 NASSR
meeting in Boston, and "Hideous Progeny, Version 0.4
Beta," delivered on Alan Liu's 1996 MLA panel, The Canon and the
Web. The selections from the edition are meant to illuminate the
essay and to suggest what the finished project will look like when it
appears in 1997 from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
Please note that the selection presented here is fragmentary. A number
of the links are dead ends, since most of the edition is not reproduced
here. And a number of pages, especially in the contexts section, are
incomplete, with notations to ourselves to add or correct information.
Because this demonstration is only temporary, please do not make any
public links to any page in this project. If you have any questions,
please contact me at jlynch@english.upenn.edu.
