Reimagining Monstrosity from Humanism to Trashumanism. 330 $aConsisting of sixteen original essays by experts in the field, including leading and lesser-known international scholars, Global Frankenstein considers the tremendous adaptability and rich afterlives of Mary Shelley's iconic novel, Frankenstein, at its bicentenary, in such fields and disciplines as digital technology, film, theatre, dance, medicine, book illustration, science fiction, comic books, science, and performance art. This ground-breaking, celebratory volume, edited by two established Gothic Studies scholars, reassesses Frankenstein's global impact for the twenty-first century across a myriad of cultures and nations, from Japan, Mexico, and Turkey, to Britain, Iraq, Europe, and North America. Offering compelling critical dissections of reincarnations of Frankenstein, a generically hybrid novel described by its early reviewers as a "bold," "bizarre," and "impious" production by a writer "with no common powers of mind", this collection interrogates its sustained relevance over two centuries during which it has engaged with such issues as mortality, global capitalism, gender, race, embodiment, neoliberalism, disability, technology, and the role of science. . 410 0$aStudies in Global Science Fiction,$x2569-8834 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aLiterary History 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a823.7 702 $aDavison$b Carol Margaret$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMulvey Roberts$b Marie$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300027903321 996 $aGlobal Frankenstein$92188565 997 $aUNINA
