This dataset contains TEI-XML encoded versions of Mary Shelley's <i>Frankenstein</i> at various stages of the collation process. It documents the first phase (2018-2019) of the "Frakenstein Variorum", a project to collate the textual changes between multiple editions of Frankenstein.<br><div><br></div><div><p>Our goal is to digitally collate the five distinct versions of the
novel produced between 1816 and 1831. We launched our project in
response to the bicentennial of Frankenstein’s first publication in
1818, thinking only to improve the comparison view of the 1818 and 1831
editions available on <a href="https://www.rc.umd.edu/editions/frankenstein">Romantic Circles</a>.</p><p><br></p>
<p>Along the way our project has grown into a more comprehensive effort
to revive and rework earlier ambitious digital editions of the novel,
from the <a href="http://knarf.english.upenn.edu/">Pennsylvania Electronic Edition</a> of the mid 1990s onward. One of our projects is to bring together the 1816 manuscript notebook edition of the <a href="http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/frankenstein/">Shelley-Godwin Archive</a>
and the manuscript annotations of the Thomas copy into readable
comparison with the print editions of the novel, to help students,
scholars, and fans explore Frankenstein’s intensive, nonlinear revision
history.</p></div><div><br></div><div>Collations were carried out by Elisa Beshero-Bondar, Raffaele Viglianti, and Rikk Mulligan.<br></div>
