{"product_id":"mary-shelley-berthold-schoene-harwood-9780231121934","title":"Mary Shelley: Frankenstein: Essays, Articles, Reviews","description":"Mary Shelley's first novel has established itself as one of modernity's most compelling and ominous myths. Frankenstein poignantly captures the spirit of the early 1800s as an age of transition tragically divided between scientific progress and religious conservatism, revolutionary reform and conformist reaction. This Guide encapsulates the most important critical reactions to a novel that straddles the realms of both high literature and popular culture. The selections shed light on Frankenstein's historical and socio-political relevance, its innovative representations of science, gender, and identity, as well as its problematic cultural location between academic critique and creative production. Ranging from the first reviews in 1818 to postmodern readings of the mid-1990s, the Guide illuminates one of British literature's most spectacular novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Berthold Schoene-Harwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231121938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231121934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.21w x 0.56d","brand":"Berthold Schoene-Harwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946358931711,"sku":"9780231121934","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8e8290bc-9fdb-4e7f-a9e3-e5a9ffc7326a.jpg?v=1681512694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mary-shelley-berthold-schoene-harwood-9780231121934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
