Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
Powerpoint of lecture by Deanna Kreisel for the “Explorations and Encounters” theme
Frankenstein
Yes, this is ridiculously late, and I apologize for disrupting the flow of posts on Nietzsche but I feel that it is important to get these thoughts down. Frankenstein is such a curious tale/story, that I wonder why there aren’t … Continue reading → Continue reading →
