Maurice Hindle famously described Mary Shelley's first novel as
"the most radical critique of the 'Enlightenment project' available
in modern literature." This work builds on previous studies of
Shelley's novel, by highlighting the instability of the male
narratives which dominated her own time. A close reading of her
novel, what might cautiously be termed a deconstruction, reveals
how Shelley places John Locke's 'possessive' individual in a state
of war with himself. It demonstrates how, through the emblem of
Frankenstein's Creature, Shelley's text exposes the contradictions
in modern thought regarding the fixity of stability of the human
subject, and most crucially, the implications of gendering that
subject.
