Frankenstein Immortel
16 FRISSON FRANKENSTEIN IMMORTEL DEUX SIÈCLES APRÈS SA NAISSANCE, LE COUPLE INFERNAL IMAGINÉ PAR MARY SHELLEY À COLOGNY CONTINUE DE FASCINER ET D’INTERROGER LES LIMITES DU SAVOIR. RETOUR SUR LA GENÈSE, LA PORTÉE ET LA POSTÉRITÉ D’UNE ŒUVRE PHARE CAMPUS N°124 DOSSIER FRANKENSTEIN 17 l y a tout juste 200 ans, le 16 juin 1816, Mary Shelley, une jeune Anglaise âgée de 18 ans se lance dans la rédaction de ce qu’elle envisage comme « un petit conte I à glacer le sang ». Publié en 1818 avant de sortir dans sa version définitive en 1831, son Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne a depuis fait le tour du monde. Première œuvre de science-fiction, cet ouvrage né sur les pentes de Cologny a beau avoir été adapté des centaines de fois, inspirant des artistes de tous horizons, il n’a rien perdu de sa pertinence. Au contraire: les problématiques abordées dans cet ouvrage semblent plus que jamais d’actualité. C’est vrai sur le plan de la médecine, de l’éthique et des limites du savoir scien- tifique mais aussi du climat qui a joué un rôle déterminant dans la genèse de cette histoire. Pour faire le point sur les intuitions étonnamment clairvoyantes de la romancière britannique en cette année anniversaire, l’Université propose un programme copieux où se mêlent colloques scientifiques, conférences, débats, projection de films et expositions. Ouverture des feux le 13 mai avec le vernissage, à la Fondation Bodmer, d’une exposition-événement autour de Frankenstein. Un projet piloté par David Spurr, professeur honoraire de la Faculté des lettres (Département de langue et littérature anglaises).

English 2333: an Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr
English 2333: An Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr. Monica Smith [Before this class meeting, students watch the Edison Frankenstein for homework and answer three questions, and we begin class by reviewing these questions: 1) What version of the Creature does this film present: the Creature as monster, the creature as human, or something in between? 2) What aspects of Shelley’s story (characterization, plot detail, setting, imagery) have the filmmakers kept? What has been deleted? To what effect? 3) What role does music play in this film?] Frankenstein (usually called The 1910 Edison Frankenstein) Director J. Searle Dawley. Starring Charles Ogle. Edison, 1910. Silent film. Approximately 13 minutes. This is the earliest known film version of Frankenstein. Regrettably, the only surviving copy was held by a private collector who refused to let film students and scholars study or even view it. Now the film fortunately has passed into the public domain and is available via Google video. Frankenstein Director James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, and Mae Clarke. Produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. Adaptation by Robert Florey and John L. Balderston. Screenplay by Garrett Fort, Robert Florey, and Francis Edward Faragoh. Based on the play by Peggy Webling. Universal, 1931. 71 minutes. This version makes substantive changes to both plot and character, renaming our protagonist, for one example, “Dr. Henry Frankenstein,” and calling his friend “Victor.” This film gives us many of the stock elements of the twentieth-century Frankenstein myth: the mad scientist in a castle on a mountaintop who cries “It’s alive! It’s alive!” when his reanimation is successful, the scientist’s hunchbacked assistant, and the robot-like, inarticulate creature with bolts in his neck.

The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century
The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century Selina Packard Goldsmiths College Submitted for the degree of PhD in the University of London Abstract This thesis is an examination of fictional representations of the life of Mary Shelley. As such it forms a contribution to two main areas of study: the postmodern debate about the relationship between fictional and factual discourses, and also to the perception of Mary Shelley in criticism. Chapter 1 constitutes a historical survey of the biographies of Mary Shelley, from her death to the present, which are the factual sources for most of the fictional texts examined in the thesis. Chapter 2 goes on to examine the prose fictions in which Mary Shelley appears as a fictional character in the years from the 1930s to the 1960s. In these we find her determined by her role as wife to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and she is thus presented as the standard heroine of romance fiction. In Chapter 3, study of later prose fictions from the 1960s to the present reveals a figure determined more by her role as author of Frankenstein. In Chapter 4, I look at her representation on stage, and show how her persona is determined by developments in late twentieth-century theatre, and she thus becomes beleaguered wife to the radical Percy. In Chapter 5, which looks at her presentation on screen, it is her visual appearance that is the dominant force in her construction, and she appears as Pandora, beautiful but deadly releaser of evils. Finally, in Chapter 6, which looks at the more unusual media in which she has appeared as a fictional character, her construction as mother to Frankenstein, birther of literary monsters, is foregrounded.

The Call Is Places 2018–2019 SUBSCRIBER NEWSLETTER
The Call Is Places 2018–2019 SUBSCRIBER NEWSLETTER Frankenstein – Playing with Fire Sept 15 – Oct 27 Wurtele Thrust Stage WELCOME From Artistic Director Joseph Haj SEASON 2018–2019 Frankenstein – Playing with Fire Sept 15 – Oct 27, 2018 Dear Friends, Wurtele Thrust Stage The idea for Frankenstein came to 18-year-old Mary Shelley in a dream. Noises Off After reading a volume of ghost stories with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron Oct 27 – Dec 16, 2018 and attempting to pen ghastly tales of their own, Mary awoke one night McGuire Proscenium Stage from a chilling vision of a scientist bringing a “hideous phantasm of a man” to life. That striking image was the impetus for her novel, which was A Christmas Carol published in 1818 and kept alive through stage and film adaptations for Nov 13 – Dec 29, 2018 the past 200 years. Wurtele Thrust Stage But her ghost-story-turned-cultural-phenomenon isn’t the only notable The Great Leap anniversary. We’re also heralding the 30th anniversary of Barbara Field’s Jan 12 – Feb 10, 2019 McGuire Proscenium Stage haunting Frankenstein – Playing with Fire script. This brilliant adaptation was commissioned by the Guthrie under the artistic direction of the late As You Like It Garland Wright and opened in July 1988 following a five-month national Feb 9 – March 17, 2019 tour. Barbara’s work and artistry are woven into the fabric of the Guthrie’s Wurtele Thrust Stage history, and I’m thrilled to once again examine the questions Mary Shelley raised two centuries ago. Cyrano de Bergerac The riveting and deeply personal catechism between Frankenstein and March 16 – May 5, 2019 his Creature draws us in from the first question — “Do you dream?” — and McGuire Proscenium Stage never lets us go.

Frankenstein and the Inoculated Reader Frankenstein; Or the Modern Prometheus
FRANKENSTEIN AND THE INOCULATED READER FRANKENSTEIN; OR THE MODERN PROMETHEUS AND THE INOCULATED READER By JANE L. DROVER, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Jane L. Drover, June 1990 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1990) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Frankenstein; Or The Modern Prometheus and The Inoculated Reader AUTHOR: Jane Drover, B.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 337 ii Abstract My thesis examines the relationship between Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and the Frankenstein myth as it has come to be known because of film. I propose that present-day readers, in addition to having a repository of literary knowledge, also have a reservoir of f ilmic memories on which to draw when they read. These visual 'texts' can function, I argue, not only as inter-texts but also as signs, indicating to us how to read certain written texts. Building on reader-response criticism, I include these visual signs in my analysis of the reading experience of Frankenstein. After outlining a brief history of visualizations of the novel on stage and in film and commenting on the contributions these adaptations gave to the story, I focus on the James Whale classics of 1931 and 1935. It is to. these films that we owe the figures of the Karloffian monster, the hunchbacked assistant, the 'mad' scientist, and the monster's grotesque 'bride.' Having imitated the common order of our exposure to the myth -- that is we know or know of Frankenstein films before we arrive at the novel I define and explain the iii theoretical concepts of narrative and filmic afterimages.

Frankenstein
Sonderausgabe 2 Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser, mit der zweiten Sonderausgabe von FILM und BUCH graben wir ein wenig in der Literaturgeschichte. Genauer gesagt geht es um das wohl berühmteste Werk der Literatur: Frankenstein. Der bekannte Autor und Übersetzer Alexander Pechmann geht der Spur Frankensteins nach, die eng mit der Biographie Mary Shelleys verbunden ist, und zeigt zugleich auf, wo die Ursprünge des zur Ikone der Popkultur gewordenen Monsters liegen. Ein weiterer Beitrag von Alexander Pechmann listet damalige Rezensionen zu Frankenstein auf, die zeigen, mit welcher Wucht der Roman damals in den Buchmarkt einschlug. Am Ende der Ausgabe findet sich noch eine Auflistung der Filme, die mit dem Roman in Verbindung stehen, sowie wichtige biographische Daten über Mary Shelley. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
