An Anarchist History of Frankenstein
By The Transmetropolitan Review
Mary Shelley wrote the now immortal Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, which was not only the birth of modern science-fiction, it remains one of the greatest novels ever written, still vital and relevant over 200 years after its publication. The daughter of firebrand British anarchists Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, Mary infused her masterpiece with the values of her radical milieu and her own experiences as a political and social outsider.
This publication by The Transmetropolitan Review details Frankenstein’s anarchist influences and long cultural journey. The full text can also be read at thetransmetropolitanreview.wordpress.com.
Loved by our collective!
The incredible story of how queer anarchists invented sci-fi despite social disgrace, brain melting poly drama, and so many dead babies. This is a history of Frankenstein for monsters like us!
