Consisting 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.
