The Cambridge Companion to Frankenstein consists of sixteen original
essays on Mary Shelley's novel by leading scholars, providing an
invaluable introduction to Frankenstein and its various critical
contexts. Theoretically informed but accessibly written, this volume
relates Frankenstein to various social, literary, scientific and
historical contexts, and outlines how critical theories such as
ecocriticism, posthumanism, and queer theory generate new and
important discussion in illuminating ways. The volume also explores
the cultural afterlife of the novel including its adaptations in
various media such as drama, film, television, graphic novels, and
literature aimed at children and young adults. Written by an
international team of leading experts, the essays provide new insights
into the novel and the various critical approaches which can be
applied to it. The volume is an essential guide to students and
academics who are interested in Frankenstein and who wish to know more
about its complex literary history.
