  • Penny Dreadful and the Frankenstein Chronicles As Adaptations
    Open Cultural Studies 2017; 1: 232–243 Research Article Barbara Braid* The Frankenstein Meme: Penny Dreadful and The Frankenstein Chronicles as Adaptations https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2017-0021 Received September 1, 2017; accepted November 5, 2017 Abstract: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) is one of the most adaptable and adapted novels of all time, spurring countless renditions in film, television, comic books, cartoons, and other products of popular culture. Like a meme, this story adapts itself to changing cultural contexts by replication with mutation. This article examines the adaptive and appropriative features of two recent examples of such renditions in the form of television series, Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) and The Frankenstein Chronicles (2015). It discusses palimpsestic appropriations used in these shows, their depiction of Frankenstein and his Creatures, and above all, the themes and their meanings which these twenty-first-century appropriations of Frankenstein offer. Keywords: appropriation, palimpsest, biofiction Introduction Within the 200 years since its first publication, Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein has spurred countless adaptations, rewritings, and appropriations. The novel itself is an adaptation of the Prometheus myth and of Milton’s Paradise Lost, to mention Shelley’s most obvious inspirations. Dennis R. Perry uses the metaphor of Frankenstein’s fragmented creation as a symbol of adaptation: “[t]he patchwork creation of Frankenstein’s monster, of course, is a perfect analogy for the underlying intertextual processes of artistic creation itself” (138). Frankenstein is thus an epitome of adaptation; its intertextuality and fragmented form are linked to its hyperadaptability (Perry 138), that is, an enormous potential for inviting new readings and appropriations—a feature which continues well into the twenty-first century.
