Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. "There never was a wilder story imagined," wrote one reviewer on the first publication of Frankenstein in 1818: "we do not well see why it should have been written." The admiring Sir Walter Scott felt that Frankenstein's "unexpected and fearful events. shook a little even our firm nerves". The prophetic power of novel's imagery in reflecting the dehumanising effects of science, technology, empire, business and the mass media has never abated. Writing in 2002, Jay Clayton said: "As a cautionary tale, Frankenstein has had an illustrious career; virtually every catastrophe of the last two centuries - revolution, rampant industrialism, epidemics, famines, World War 1, Nazism, nuclear holocaust, clone, replicants and robots - has been symbolized by Shelley's monster. Perhaps more than any other novel, Frankenstein has been interpreted as a warning impeding events." For some readers these warnings have produced a monstrous creation in place of Mary Shelley's own. "Frankenstein is a product of criticism, not a work of literature," argues Fred Botting. Yet if the metaphorical interpretations of the novel appear to exceed the adolescent fantasy which gave rise to them, this is in itself a tribute to the original work, concludes Levine: "The book is larger and richer than any of its progeny and too complex to serve as mere background. The novel has qualities that allow it to exfoliate as creatively and endlessly as any important myth." In this book, Josie Billington looks at the story and its legacy, and sifts the vast repertoire of critical opinion to give us the most interesting verdicts on the novel. The shocking story of Frankenstein seems as relevant today as it was when it was written nearly 200 years ago. Josie Billington tells us why.
