Frankenstein was Mary Shelley's immensely powerful contribution to the ghost stories which she, Percy Shelley, and Byron wrote one wet summer in Switzerland. Its protagonist is a young student of natural philosophy, who learns the secret of imparting life to a creature constructed from relics of the dead, with horrific consequences. Frankenstein confronts some of the most feared innovations of evolutionism: topics such as degeneracy, hereditary disease, and mankind's status as a species of animal. The text used here is from the 1818 edition, which is a mocking expose of leaders and achievers who leave desolation in their wake, showing mankind its choice - to live cooperatively or to die of selfishness. It is also a black comedy, and harder and wittier than the 1831 version with which we are more familiar. Drawing on new research, Marilyn Butler examines the novel in the context of the radical sciences, which were developing among much controversy in the years following the Napoleonic Wars, and shows how Frankenstein's experiment relates to a contemporary debate between the champions of materialist science and of received religion.

評分引: “即人制造了机器,但并不能主宰机器,反而被机器反咬一口。直到最近读了完整版,我才知道这部号称科幻小说之母的小说,包含的无穷内涵并不止科技问题。 小说的情节很简单。弗兰肯斯坦野心勃勃地创造了一个奇丑无比的巨人,希望以生命制造者的身份赢得敬仰。但被创造的怪...
Bildung的部分有點意思;spivak指齣的monster和女性生育功能的tension也確實是重要的問題
