and "Terminator" series). This sourcebook provides a complete guide
to all of the story's filmic incarnations-including essential
information such as cast, creative personnel, and plot
summaries-and also guides the reader to relevant primary texts such
as scripts, posters, production histories, and newspaper clippings.
Utilizing an approach that is both popular and scholarly, and
including spotlight essays that deal with contemporary academic
approaches to the subject, "The Frankenstein Film Sourcebook"
reveals the depth of the cinematic range of interpretations of a
classic modern myth.
Comprehensive in its scope, "The Frankenstein Film Sourcebook"
provides an alphabetical guide to two hundred films that
incorporate the Frankenstein narrative. It also delves into both
primary and secondary perspectives and includes discussions of
aspects of the films, such as their depiction of women, which is
relevant to current scholarly critiques.
