        Adapting Frankenstein

        The monster's eternal lives in popular culture

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

        Mary and Philip

        The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain

        by Alexander Samson

        Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

        Kunst und Erfahrung

        Beiträge zu einer philosophischen Kontroverse

        by Stefan Deines, Jasper Liptow, Martin Seel

        Welche Rolle spielen Wahrnehmung und Erfahrung für unseren Umgang mit Kunst? Gibt es eine spezifisch ästhetische Erfahrung? Und wenn ja, wie lässt sie sich begrifflich bestimmen? Von Antworten auf diese Fragen hängt nicht nur das Schicksal vieler Theorien der Kunst ab, sondern letztlich das Schicksal der Ästhetik selbst, insofern sie mit dem Anspruch auftritt, als Theorie einer besonderen Form der Erfahrung Aufschluss über das Wesen der Kunst zu geben. Der Band versammelt prominente Autoren sowohl der »kontinentalen« als auch der »analytischen« Ästhetik, die den Zusammenhang von Kunst und Erfahrung aus systematischer Perspektive beleuchten, darunter Georg W. Bertram, Noël Carroll, Jerrold Levinson, Martin Seel, Eva Schürmann und James Shelley.

        Women, scholarship and criticism c.1790–1900

        Gender and knowledge

        by Joan Bellamy, Anne Laurence, Gill Perry, Susan Williams

        Brings together the varied artistic, critical and cultural productions by women scholars, critics and artists between 1790-1900, many of whom are little known in the canonical histories of the period. Questions the concepts of 'scholarship', 'criticism' and 'artist' across the different disciplines. Women discussed include authors (Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Sydney Morgan and Anna Jameson) actresses ( Elizabeth Siddons, Dorothy Jordan, and Mary Robinson) critics ( Margaret Oliphant and Mary Cowden Clarke) historians (Agnes Strickland, Lucy Aikin, Mary Anne Everett Green, Elizabeth Cooper and Lucy Toulmin Smith) as well as the writers and readers of Women's magazines, educationalists and translators. Makes a significant and original contribution to the development of gender studies by extending the frontiers of existing knowledge and research. ;

        Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus

        by Mary Shelley, Karl Bruno Leder, Gerd Leetz

        Der Roman erzählt von einem künstlich geschaffenen, beseeltem Menschenwesen, das ob seiner Häßlichkeit von Liebe und Gemeinschaft ausgeschlossen bleibt. In seiner ursprünglich kindlich-schuldlosen Seele entsteht so das Böse, und haßerfüllt nimmt es Rache an der Menschheit.
