Description

Global Frankenstein: A Bicentennial Reassessment A groundbreaking collection of essays by leading and lesser-known international scholars, Global Frankenstein explores the enduring impact of Mary Shelley's iconic novel, Frankenstein. This celebratory volume, edited by two established Gothic Studies scholars, examines the global relevance of Frankenstein across various cultures and disciplines, including digital technology, film, theatre, dance, medicine, book illustration, science fiction, comic books, science, and performance art. The essays offer compelling critical dissections of reincarnations of Frankenstein, a novel that has engaged with issues such as mortality, global capitalism, gender, race, embodiment, neoliberalism, disability, technology, and the role of science over two centuries.
