Adapting Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's <i>Frankenstein </i>is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and <i>bandes dessinées</i>. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex' this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on <i>Frankenstein</i> while deepening our understanding of a text that 200 years after its original publication continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.
