Frankenstein's Brain : Puzzles and Conundrums in Mary Shelley's Monstrous Masterpiece

 
Literary sleuth John Sutherland takes a quirky journey through the lesser-known byways of Mary Shelley's masterpiece.

Where does Victor Frankenstein dig up his body parts? Is the monster a fan of Goethe?

How does the monster die?

On the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's perennially popular and influential gothic tale, literary detective John Sutherland turns his expert eye on Frankenstein and unearths a trove of tantalising facts and arcane puzzles

Among the topics to come under the microscope are: Does the monster have a penis? Is he a monster or a baby - or both? And, most important of all: who is the best on-screen Frankenmonster?
