Perhaps best recognized for the horror films it has spawned, ""Frankenstein"", written by 19-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, was first published in 1818. ""Frankenstein: Or The Modern Prometheus"" warns against the ""advancements"" of modern man and the industrial revolution. Whether for research or general interest, ""Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations"" furnishes students with a collection of the most insightful critical essays available on this Gothic thriller, selected from a variety of literary sources. Completely updated and incorporating at least 50 percent new material from the prior edition, this convenient study guide - with chronology, contributor biographical information, and bibliography - is ideal for those working on thematic papers.
