Frankenstein's Science: Experimentation and Discovery in Romantic Culture, 1780-1830

By Jane R. Goodall and Christa Knellwolf King

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.
