Consisting of sixteen original essays by experts in the field, Global Frankenstein'
considers the tremendous adaptability and rich afterlives of Mary Shelleys 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
