Frankenstein
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley · Walton's letters, 11 December to 12 September · 11 entries
Robert Walton's letters to his sister open and close the novel, each dated. From 19 August he writes down the stranger's story, and the text dates no part of it, so that day's reading holds the whole tale, to be read by 26 August, when Walton writes again. The letters inside the tale are left in it: they are dated in years the tale does not give.

To catch up
Following is off while personalising is off, in Settings. What you followed stays as it was.
What following keeps is in this browser only, for this profile's age: the day you began, and the entries you have opened from it. Nothing of it is sent. Settings says so too.
The calendar
Every entry can be read now, ahead of its day or after it. Each opens in the reader at its first words, and the reader marks where its day's reading ends.

Where the dates come from
From Project Gutenberg's eBook #84 (Most recently updated: February 10, 2026): every entry is tied to the line of its plain text file where it begins, and its date to the line that prints it, and both are checked against that file.
