The Monster Who Will Not Leave Us

Henry Schvey, professor of drama and comparative literature, delves into the ongoing cultural relevancy of the Frankenstein mythos, finding new and richer meanings in the two centuries since its publication. At its heart, Schvey says, the Frankenstein story reflects the unresolved anxiety between creator and creation.


Schvey will deliver the paper “‘Puttin' On the Ritz’: Frankenstein and Popular Culture” at the Frankenstein at 200 Conference.
