Frankenstein Retold

Placing Frankenstein in the critical frameworks of book history and secondary authorship, this book explores the increasing array of book-based reworkings of, and sequels to, the novel that up to this point, have been largely ignored.Covering novels, novellas and short stories across a range of genres from romance to YA fiction, Frankenstein Retoldexamines a broad range of these texts in different purviews and demonstrates their own critical value as well and pertinence for understanding new approaches to literary adaptation in theory and practice more broadly. Organised thematically, the book cover topics including: filial characterisation; continuations and sequels explicitly tied to Shelley's narrative; epistolary, journal-based, found-text and other storytelling forms; coquels set against the original material; fiction in which Shelley's materials have been transplanted to entirely new settings, periods or genres; cameos; and the ghostly presence of the original author. A testament to the vitality of the original story more than two centuries after it first appeared, Daniel Cook explores works from a huge range of writers such as Peter Ackroyd, Jeanette Winterson, Ahmed Saadawi, Suzanne Weyne, Jon Skovron, William A. Chandler, Susan Heyboer Okeefe, Hailey Bailey, Laurie Sheck, Edward M. Erdelac, Fred Saberhagen and Kate Horsley among many others. With a large body of scholarship already exploring the rich cinematic, transmedial and cultural afterlife of Shelley's novel, Frankenstein Retoldoffers a bridge between literary studies notions of book history and authorship, and media studies approaches to transmedia storytelling, between fan writing and media production histories.

1. Jonathan Swift

Gulliver's Travels (The Norton Library)

Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin, to English parents, in 1667. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and Oxford, he was ordained in the Anglican Church in 1795 and later served for more than three decades as Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. In 1704, he published the religious-themed A Tale of a Tub, the first of the trenchantly satirical works on which his reputation rests. Along with his friends Alexander Pope and John Gay, Swift helped make the eighteenth century a golden age of social and political satire in Britain. After a brief stint as a Tory pamphleteer in London, the self-styled Irish patriot returned to Dublin in 1714. In later years, he vented what he called his “savage indignation” in a wide range of literary registers, from the Rabelaisian humor of his masterpiece, Gulliver’s Travels (1726), to the dystopian vision of infanticide in A Modest Proposal (1729). He died in 1745. Daniel Cook is Reader in English at the University of Dundee in Scotland. After completing his PhD at the University of Cambridge, he held a Leverhulme Research Fellowship at the University of Bristol, a Visiting Professorship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and library fellowships at Harvard and Yale. He is the author of Walter Scott and Short Fiction (2021), Reading Swift’s Poetry (2020), and Thomas Chatterton and Neglected Genius, 1760-1830 (2013).
