Adapting Frankenstein : The Monster's Eternal Lives in Popular Culture

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the ‘Frankenstein Complex’, this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel’s remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways. --.Author: Perry, Dennis R.,editor,Cutchins, Dennis R.,editor Contributors: Perry, Dennis R.,editor,Cutchins, Dennis R.,editor Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 360 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: Illustrated Edition: Illustrated Published/Release Date: 6 Aug 2018 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Manchester University Press Author/Director/Artist: Dennis R.
