Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature by Lederer, Susan E
Unknown
Book Description
New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers Univ Press, 2002. Unknown. Soft Cover. New. New, still in publishers plastic. As science penetrates the secrets of nature, with each discovery generating new questions, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein will sound its note of warning. Many scientific developments have provoked references to Frankenstein, a story that, for nearly two centuries, has gripped our imaginations and haunted our nightmares. How can society balance the benefits of medical discoveries against the ethical or spiritual questions posed? Lavishly illustrated, this volume highlights Shelley's novel, focuses on the redefinition of the Frankenstein myth in popular culture, and examines the continuing power of this story to articulate present-day concerns raised by new developments in biomedicine such as cloning and xenografting. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
