Some key differences exist between the editions, namely that in the first edition, Elizabeth is Alphonse's niece and, therefore, Victor's cousin.
She revised the novel and published it under her real name in 1831. Shelley published the first edition of Frankenstein anonymously, perhaps due to her concern that such a grim and violent tale would not be well received by her audience if they knew her gender. She began writing the story that became Frankenstein the next morning. A few nights later, she had a dream in which she envisioned "the pale student of unhallowed arts" kneeling beside his creation-the monster. On a stormy night in June of 1816, Mary Shelley, her husband, and a few other companions, including the Romantic poet Lord Byron, decided to try to write their own ghost stories, but Shelley couldn't come up with any ideas.
