by Eleanor Dark.
Halstead Classics (imprint of Angus & Robertson), Sydney, 1999.

With its compressed time-frame and study of the tensions between contemporary eugenics and psychology, Dark blends modernism with the Gothic to produce her modern Frankenstein. First published by PR Stephenson in 1934, Prelude to Christopher won the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal. This edition put Prelude to Christopher back in print for the first time since 1961.
