This study surveys the history of the myth in literature before the advent of film. First examining the range of meanings generated by Mary Shelley's \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e in light of images of political \"monstrosity\" produced by the French Revolution, Baldick goes on to trace the protean transformations of the myth in the fiction of Hoffmann, Hawthorne, Dickens, Melville, Conrad, and Lawrence, as well as in the historical and political writings of Carlyle and Marx and the science fiction of Stevenson and Wells. In conclusion, he shows that the myth's most powerful associations have centered on human relationships, the family, work, and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Baldick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 5.90w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198122494\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43781793120371,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":127.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b5025512-b9b1-4852-a9d7-42864828c533.jpg?v=1757595003","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/in-frankensteins-shadow-myth-monstrosity-and-nineteenth-century-writing-9780198122494","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
