Graham Allen provides both an introduction to and review of the critical responses to Mary Shelley's major fictions, from the Romantic period to the present day, while also pushing debates forward. The book moves beyond Frankenstein, presenting new readings of other texts such as Matilda, Valperga, The Last Man and Lodore.
GRAHAM ALLEN is Senior Lecturer in Modern English at University College Cork, Ireland. He teaches a wide range of courses on Romantic Literature and his previous publications include Intertextuality (Routledge Critical Idiom) and Roland Barthes (Routledge Critical Thinkers).
