- Inhalt
- Mary Shelley (1797 1851), the daughter of the radical writer William Godwin and the feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, wrote Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus in the course of a writers contest among Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland in 1814.
Mary Shelley was not aware that she had created not just a classic of British literature, but a myth that would live on in literature, film and other media.
Victor Frankenstein is a young and ambitious scientist who assembles a creature from body parts. The creature turns against his creator. A lonesome and deplorable being ends up as an atrocious monster.
In the seminar we will discuss the original, its second 1831 edition, a collaborate effort of Mary Shelley and her husband, the dramatizations in the 19th century and some 20th-century filmings. Frankenstein will also be read in the context of the epic poem that inspired it, John Milton s Paradise Lost (1667) and some contemporary novels and films that continue its main argument, the flawed relationship between creator and creature.
