Creolizing Frankenstein - Hardcover

by Michael R. Paradiso-Michau (Editor)

This original collection investigates how Mary Shelley's 200-year-old novel is the product of creolization--the intentional conglomeration of scientific, mythological, political, and social discourses. The book traces how the story has creolized itself into life and culture as a new mythology and political statement for each generation.
