Frankenstein authorship question Frankenstein authorship question The "Frankenstein" authorship question is a debate over the role and the extent of Percy Bysshe Shelley's contributions in the writing of the novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus", published anonymously in London in 1818. Handwriting analyses have shown that some portions of the original manuscript were written in his handwriting. Arguments on the subject range from arguments that he acted strictly as an editor/reviewer (with actual authorship remaining with Mary Shelley) to claims that he was the sole author. The dispute over authorship began as soon as the novel was published anonymously on January 1, 1818
Sub Rosa (novel) award rather than for a specific work, but the jury specifically singled out "Sub Rosa" in their judging, saying, "Amber Dawn is an impressive, heart-stopping talent. Her debut novel, "Sub Rosa", is a clear-eyed myth exploring the lives of young women at risk. Both fearless in its narrative and rich in its landscape of metaphor, "Sub Rosa" is a book that refuses to be overlooked. Dawn’s story is not just an attempt to hold the world’s darkness, but to find it some comfort too." "Sub Rosa" was also presented the Lambda Award in 2011, in the “Lesbian Debut Fiction” category.
