Description

Frankenstein by Fred Botting is a collection of significant contemporary work on Mary Shelley's novel from various critical perspectives. This volume brings together Marxist, Psychoanalytic, Historicist, Feminist, Poststructuralist and Postcolonialist approaches to explore the ways in which monstrosity raises crucial questions for modern issues such as sexuality, class, science, race, language and identity.

The book reflects the impact of recent developments in criticism and theory on our understanding of Frankenstein's importance in debates about gender, culture and politics. By examining the novel through different theoretical lenses, this collection sheds new light on its enduring relevance to contemporary concerns.
