Frankenstein in Theory: A Critical Anatomy Book Release
Orrin Wang's edited collection provides new readings of Frankenstein from a myriad of established and burgeoning theoretical vantages. The launch will be a conversation about the book with Lee Konstantinou.
Frankenstein in Theory: A Critical Anatomy includes narrative theory, cognitive and affect theory, the new materialism, media theory, critical race theory, queer and gender studies, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and others. Demonstrating how the literary power of Frankenstein rests on its ability to theorize questions of mind, self, language, matter, and the socio-historic that also drive these critical approaches, this volume illustrates the ongoing intellectual richness found both in Mary Shelley's work and contemporary ways of thinking about it.
