I didn't know that the novel came about from a competition between writers, I had always heard that it also came to her in a series of dreams and most of the finished product was the work of numerous editors. I definitely agree that this is important to preserve; given the times of increasing scientific daring and discovery, humans may find that they've reached their limits. I would like to know if you researched anything on possible editor work on Shelly's Frankenstein or other contributor's impacts on the finished product.
