Frankenstein

Fred Botting’s Frankenstein reexamines a classic narrative through a modern critical lens. The work revisits the profound influence of the text on debates at the intersection of gender, culture, and politics. Drawing attention to its enduring impact, the study invites readers to explore the layers of meaning beneath its familiar surface. The analysis incorporates a diverse range of perspectives, including Marxist, psychoanalytic, historicist, feminist, poststructuralist, and postcolonialist approaches. Through these varied interpretations, the book illuminates how issues of sexuality, class, science, race, language, and identity have been interwoven with the imaginative framework of the narrative. Published in 1995 by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc as a paperback edition, this critical work offers a thought-provoking reassessment of Frankenstein's place in literary and cultural debates, challenging readers to engage with its complex legacy in a fresh and compelling way.
