  • British Periodicals and Spanish Literature: Mapping the Romantic Canon

    Joselyn M Almeida, Tim Fulford et al.BOOKBritish Periodicals and Spanish…2022Cited by: 1References: 1

    With the main goal of contributing to a wider understanding of the presence of Spanish literature and culture in British Romanticism, this book focuses on the instrumental role played by the British periodical press in the Anglo-Spanish literary and cultural exchange in the first half of the nineteenth century. All the chapters bear witness to the contrasting and varied perception of everything Spanish, the different strategies of exploration, ap…

    By the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window-shutters, I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created. He held up the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaws opened ...’. Frankenstein is the most celebrated horror story ever written.

  • Traumatic Responsibility: Annotated for Scientists, Engineers, and Creators of All Kinds

    Mary Shelley, Josephine JohnstonBOOKFrankenstein2018

    A rich theme running through Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is responsibility. The novel explores the responsibility that Victor Frankenstein has for the destruction caused by his scientific curiosity, as well as the responsibility that he owes to his creation. Victor Frankenstein’s creature has emotions, desires and dreams that cannot be satisfied by humans. So the creature comes to Victor, first pleading—and then demanding—that he create a female …

  • Dracula

    Bram Stoker, Baphomet Giger et al.BOOKDracula2011

    ‘It was butcher work...the horrid screeching as the stake drove home; the plunging of writhing form, and lips of bloody foam.’ Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic shocker introduced Count Dracula to the world, an ancient creature bent on bringing his contagion to London, the very heart of the British Empire. Only a handful of men and women stand between Dracula and his long-cherished goal, but they are vulnerable and weak against the cunning and supernatur…

  • The Last Man

    Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley et al.BOOKThe last man2008

    The last man! I may well describe that solitary being’s feelings, feeling myself as the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me.’ Mary Shelley, Journal (May 1824). Best remembered as the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley wrote The Last Man eight years later, on returning to England from Italy after her husband’s death. It is the twenty-first century, and England is a republic governed by a ruling elite, one of whom, Adria…

  • Valperga: Or, The Life and Adventures of Castruccio, Prince of Lucca

    Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley et al.BOOKValperga, or, The life and…1998

    Not reprinted since its first edition, Mary Shelley's second novel is a major discovery of the Mary Shelley bicentenary of 1997. The novel's lack of success as a follow-up to Frankenstein was the result of its subject matter and unconventional approach to the genre of historical fiction, attributes that can only delight the twentieth-century reader. Shelley's mastery of the intricate details of thirteenth-century Tuscan politics is unique among w…
