Frankenstein's Science

Experimentation and Discovery in Romantic Culture, 1780-1830

Herausgeber: Knellwolf, Christa

Beschreibung

Frankenstein's Science contextualizes this widely taught novel in contemporary scientific and literary debates, providing new historical scholarship into areas of science and pseudo-science that generated fierce controversy in Mary Shelley's time: anatomy, electricity, medicine, teratology, Mesmerism, quackery, and proto-evolutionary biology. The collection will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars specializing in Romanticism, cultural history, and the history of science.
