Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is itself a monster, a mythos that will not die, a corpus that keeps getting harvested for parts to animate new artistic creations. Monstrous Progeny takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the Frankenstein family tree, tracing the novel’s literary and intellectual roots, analyzing the evolution of the Frankenstein figures and themes, and examining the tale’s continued relevance to modern debates about bioethics, artificial intelligence, and the limits of scientific progress.
