Library Talks | Frankenstein and its legacies
July 9 @ 14:00 - 15:00
‘Frankenstein’ by Mary Shelley is a novel that never goes away; an early reviewer described it as ‘harassing the heart’. It’s a work of science fiction, of Gothic, of environmental and philosophical concerns, and is endlessly adaptable and used as a metaphor
Why does it have such enduring power? And what does it mean to us in the 21st century? This talk from Dr Serena Trowbridge will look at the novel and its legacies and explore why a novel written by a teenager over 200 years ago still matters today.
