The Body of Frankenstein's Monster

Exploring the cultural and artistic representations of the body, the book delves into iconic figures like Frankenstein, werewolves, and Dracula as symbols reflecting various perceptions of human anatomy. Cecil Helman, M.D., examines the body as a mechanical construct, a creature driven by primal instincts, and a vulnerable entity susceptible to external threats. Through this lens, the work broadens our understanding of how these powerful symbols shape our views on the human form and its complexities.
