Description:
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein, a story she wrote at the age of nineteen, is a popular tale, remarkable not only for its striking plot but also its Romantic elements. This collection of critical essays examines works of Shelley.

Editor’s Note
My Introduction, written half a century ago, interprets Frankenstein’s Prometheanism in timeless terms. It thus belongs to a different universe of discourse than do the ten essays that are reprinted after it here. These all are exercises in current fashions of the academy: gender, politics, more-or-less new historicism, race, ideology and post-Freudian psychobiography. I cannot prophesy how they will read in another half century, when I am gone elsewhere.
Ashley J. Cross studies the relationship between gender and language in Frankenstein, while Betty T. Bennett traces in Mary Shelley’s letters the boundaries between public persona and private self.
The modernity of Mrs. Shelley’s Prometheus is discussed by Harriet Hustis, after which L. Adam Mekler examines “dream-work” in the early novels.
Lee Zimmerman experiences the nameless dread of Frankenstein, while Patricia Duncker looks at public mythologies concerning Mary Shelley.
Race, which seems to me as irrelevant to Frankenstein as it is to The Tempest, nevertheless is found to be an element in the novel by Allan Lloyd-Smith, after which Colene Bentley meditates upon political theory in Frankenstein, and eighteenth-century ideology of language is invoked as context by Jonathan Jones.
