With a specific focus on Richard Brinsley Peake’s 1823 gothic melodrama, Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein I unpack how the novel’s cross-medium adaptation leads to a changed conception of the relationship of its central characters. In Frankenstein, Victor is the focal figure and acts as the Creature’s dominant counterpart. However, the characters’ cross-medium adaptation from page to stage inverts this Doppelgänger relationship from Shelley’s initial conception in the novel.

  • An Introduction to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
    An Introduction to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein By Stephanie Forward Cover illustration courtesy of Stephen Collins This eBook was produced by OpenLearn - The home of free learning from The Open University. It is made available to you under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. ‘I busied myself to think of a story…One which would speak to the mysterious fears of our nature, and awaken thrilling horror—one to make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart.’ (From Mary Shelley’s Introduction to the 1831 edition of Frankenstein). The life of Mary Shelley (1797- 1851) Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born in London on 30 August 1797, to the radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and the philosopher William Godwin. Her mother died as a result of complications following the birth, and after Godwin’s second marriage Mary was brought up with two stepsiblings, a half-sister (Fanny Imlay), and a half-brother (named William, after their father). Their home in Holborn was located near the candlelit abattoirs under Smithfield: indeed, the children could hear the screams of animals being slaughtered. On a more positive note Mary benefited from a broad education, enhanced by visits to the household from literary luminaries including William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. At the age of ten she had an amusing poem published: Mounseer Nongtongpaw; or, The Discoveries of John Bull in a Trip to Paris. Unfortunately her relationship with her stepmother was far from cordial, and the onset of eczema when Mary was thirteen may have been partly psychosomatic.

    Staging the Shelleys: A Case Study in Romantic Biodrama by Brittany Reid A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Brittany Reid, 2018 ii Abstract Although it has been nearly two hundred years since they lived and wrote, Romantic writers Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley continue to haunt the theatre in the twenty-first century. However, it is not only their plays, poems, and novels that have been adapted for the modern stage. Beginning in the twentieth century, renewed interest in the Shelleys’ lives led to the composition of numerous biographical plays based on Mary and Percy’s personal and creative partnership. But while these nineteenth-century writers enjoyed particular moments of such interest in the 1980s, the early twenty-first century has seen this interest flourish like never before. Consequently, the turn of the twenty-first century coincided with an unprecedented increase in the number and variety of plays about the Shelleys’ lives, writing, and literary legacies. As a testament to this recent resurgence, more than twenty theatrical adaptations of the Shelleys have been created and staged in the last twenty years. But although these plays continue to feature both Shelleys, most contemporary biographical plays about the couple now privilege Mary as their focal figure and prioritize her life, writing, and perspective. In this way, these plays represent a creative corollary of a broader cultural shift in interest from Percy to Mary as a biographical subject, which was first initiated in the 1980s through the recovery efforts of Mary Shelley scholars.

    STILL HAUNTING THE CASTLE: FEMINIST AND POSTCOLONIAL GOTHIC THEATRE AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the DeGree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aoise A. Stratford February 2016 © 2016 Aoise A. Stratford STILL HAUNTING THE CASTLE: FEMINIST AND POSTCOLONIAL GOTHIC THEATRE AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Aoise A. Stratford, Ph.D. Cornell University 2016 Abstract: Despite the fact that Gothic drama dominated London and American staGes around the turn of the nineteenth century, Gothic is a critically disparaGed term rarely used in contemporary theatre scholarship. This project seeks to reclaim the term in the context of certain twentieth-century plays by women that can be said to belong to a genealogy of contemporary feminist theatre. These plays use Gothic themes, imaGes, and conventions to challenGe dominant patriarchal ideologies in the postcolonial cultures of England, Australia, Canada, and the USA. The playwriGhts primarily studied in this regard are Beatrix Christian, Judith Thompson, Connie Gault, Alma De Groen, Caryl Churchill, Suzan-Lori Parks, Liz Lochhead, Adrienne Kennedy, Sarah Kane, and The Five Lesbian Brothers. AnalyzinG this significant body of work, I arGue for the presence of a Gothic mode across a range of plays that are variously consciously Gothic (in that they take known Gothic texts as intertexts), evocatively Gothic (in that they present an accumulation of tropes, imaGes and conventions recoGnizable from earlier Gothic novels and examined in extant Gothic scholarship), or that use the Gothic as a siGnificant dramaturGical strateGy that interrupts and (re)frames the play’s narrative and meaninG.

You want to make your mark, surely, but you cannot yet see the dangers that lie ahead. Know thyself, young man – know the world in which you live – lest you unleash the unimaginable!” -Prof. Waldman in Frankenstein For 200 years, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus – Mary Shelley’s tale of horror and hubris, of the follies and flaws of humanity — has gripped the imagination of readers around the world. Now, City Lights revisits Frankenstein with a fresh perspective and the use of modern multimedia technology, including projection mapping. This commissioned work, the second in City Lights history, is written and directed by Kit Wilder, who was director and co-writer of the company’s first original commissioned piece, Truce: A Christmas Wish From the Great War, in 2014. Wilder explores the hubris that brings the young scientist Victor Frankenstein to play God and create a sapient creature. When he rejects his work, Frankenstein throws his entire world into a downward spiral of violence and recriminations as the cautionary tale explores the very nature of the human existence.
