Mary Shelley Today reevaluates the influence of Mary Shelley and her seminal work Frankensteinon literature and imaginative work of the last quarter century.

In this collection, contributors assess media across literature, film, and television that engage either directly or indirectly with Shelley as a historical figure, an author, and an intellectual. Across twelve chapters, contributors also discuss the ways in which authors of the last quarter century understand and reimagine Shelley's narratives, themes, and perspectives with particular focus on Shelley's depiction of isolation, dehumanization, and monstrosity.
