Frankenstein

Let’s Begin with Romanticism Revolt against Enlightenment ideas—reason, individualism, emphasis on science Emphasis on imagination; personal, subjective experience; emotions; nature as a source of inspiration

Sublime vs. beautiful Sublime: overwhelming and terrifying, yet beautiful Beautiful: soft, enjoyable, soothing

Elements of Romanticism Emphasis on the individual (but in a different way from the Enlightenment) Genius, hero, lone artist figure—focused on passions and internal struggles Imagination as a gateway to the transcendental—belief in the supernatural

The Gothic Novel In England: 1790-1830, but continues even into today Mysterious disappearances and supernatural occurrences. Protagonist usually a solitary, egocentric character. Nature is used frequently to create atmosphere. Evokes terror. Shows the dark side of human nature.

Science and Romanticism Anxiety about manipulating nature and pushing the limits of science (“mad scientist” figure emerges) Galvanism (electric currents to stimulate muscle movement) Body Snatching (theft of bodies from graves to sell to doctors and scientists) Vivisections (dissecting living animals for scientific study) Polar Expeditions
