Three novels by Mary Shelly?

Using both JUXTA and Tag Clouds there is concrete evidence for Mary Shelly writing three separate novels with the three different versions of Frankenstein. Even though the title is the same in all three novels, there are significant changes in all three novels. One interesting difference in the three versions discussed by my group was that there is a progression from the first version all the way to the third and final version. The passage describing Victor and Walton's first meeting evolves into a more descriptive and colorful dialogue by the third revision. In the first version there is less evidence for a dialogue for friendship but in the later versions words are added. For example, we find in the last verision the words "Friendship" and Dialogue." The above picture is from the 1818 version and here are less descriptive than the 1831 version.

The ablility to digitize the different verisions of Frankenstein brings to light the alterations Shelly made to the different verisions. Using JUXTA we are able to see the progression in the three editions,1818, Thomas 1818 and 1831, written by Shelly.
