 • The core premise of Charles E. Robinson's new book, The Original Frankenstein (2008), is that, with regard to the surviving Frankenstein manuscript, words in Mary Shelley's handwriting were ipso facto composed by her. In my letter to The Chronicle Review (published on 5 December 2008) I analyze his “handwriting-authorship fallacy”. To read the letter click here.
