This surprising novel by the author of Frankenstein was not appreciated when first published. Set in the late 21st century, in a world devestated by plague, this novel is now recog nized as a precursor to modern science fiction and apocalyptic tales. Critics also recognize it as a repudiation of unchecked Romanticism and Utopian ideals. Originally published in 1826. Dover trade paperback. 342 pgs. 2010. NEW. $10.00 Show more
