In this book, Daisy Hay returns to the objects and manuscripts of the novel;s genesis in order to assemble its story anew. By stripping Frankenstein back to its constituent parts, Hay reveals an uneven novel written by a young woman deeply engaged in the process of working out her thoughts on the pressing issues of her time, from politics to religion and from science to the imagination, and in doing so creates a compelling and innovative biography of the novel for all those fascinated by its essential, brilliant chaos. -- Inside flap. 600 10 $a Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, $d 1797-1851. $t Frankenstein. 600 10 $a Frankenstein, Victor $c (Fictitious character) 600 00 $a Frankenstein's Monster $c (Fictitious character) 630 07 $a Frankenstein (Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01357605 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024449.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6578834826B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
