Summary

The "Regency Romance Classics 'Äì Samuel Richardson Collection" showcases the pioneering works of Samuel Richardson, a pivotal figure in the evolution of the English novel. This collection brings together his seminal novels, characterized by their epistolary form and intricate character examinations. Richardson deftly explores themes of virtue, moral complexity, and the struggles of society, all set against the backdrop of the Regency era'Äôs social mores. His writing style, imbued with psychological depth and emotional intensity, allows readers to engage intimately with the characters'Äô dilemmas and desires, making the narratives both compelling and reflective of the human condition. Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) was not merely an author but a craftsman of culture, and his background as a printer deeply influenced his literary creations. His fascination with letters and communication in an increasingly evolving society provided a framework for his exploration of individual agency against societal constraints. Richardson's works emerged during a critical juncture in literary history when the novel began to establish itself as a serious form capable of addressing complex social issues. This collection is recommended for readers intrigued by early modern literature, the evolution of romance in fiction, or the intricacies of human relationships. With Richardson's works, one can appreciate the roots of modern narrative styles while enjoying timeless themes that resonate even today.

    Mary Shelly: FRANKENSTEIN

    Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein" (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society
