Frankenstein's Brain: Puzzles and Conundrums in Mary Shelley's Monstrous Masterpiece

By John Sutherland and Jon Sutherland

Book Overview

Where does Victor Frankenstein dig up his body parts?

Is the monster a fan of Goethe?

How does the monster die?

On the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's perennially popular and influential gothic tale, literary detective John Sutherland turns his expert eye on Frankenstein and unearths a trove of tantalising facts and arcane puzzles.

Among the topics to come under the microscope are: Does the monster have a penis? Is he a monster or a baby - or both? And, most important of all: who is the best on-screen Frankenmonster?
