In Frankenstein's Shadow: Myth, Monstrosity and Nineteenth-century Writing - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book surveys the early history of one of the most important modern myths: the story of Frankenstein and the monster he created, as it appeared in fictional and other writings before its translation to the cinema screen. Dr Baldick shows that while the myth did come to be applied metaphorically to technological development, its most powerful associations have centred on relationships between people: in the family, in work, and in politics.
