This potentially infinite grid of intertexts, here termed the 'Frankenstein Network', enables a new way of reading adaptations in the light of other texts on the grid. The adaptation-studies approaches found in this book focus on the complex relationships between the various texts, disparate traditions, and dynamic media in which \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein \u003c\/i\u003ehas been adapted. As the most comprehensive collection of essays to date on why and how \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein \u003c\/i\u003ehas been adapted, this is an ideal book for class explorations of adaptation theory, \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein \u003c\/i\u003estudies, Gothic horror, and Dark Romanticism. It broadens the scope of research on \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular works in the history of western literature.
