FrankenReads @ Macquarie Session 1: Revisiting Frankenstein

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein we will be releasing recordings from the FrankenReads event at Macquarie University in September.

This week's recording features the following presentations:

“’My Beloved Sister’: The Other Family in Frankenstein” by Lee O’Brien

'Using “the living animal” to re-animate “lifeless clay”: The role of vivisection in the creation of Frankenstein's monster' by Libby King

“’The reflections of my hours of despondency and solitude’: Narrating Solitude in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein” by Geoffrey Payne

Bonus material:
We were having such a great time at the conference that we ran over time and, unfortunately, John Mathews' wonderful introduction to the screening of the 1931 film adaptation of Frankenstein was only partially recorded. Rather than cut this part of the conference out completely, we thought we'd offer the snippet as a bonus clip. Enjoy!
