Frankenstein in Scotland


My Video (see below) explores Alasdair Gray's novel Poor Things.

A contemporary grotesque novel that plays on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and other monster narratives.

The book is recommended reading if you are a Gothic Literature enthusiast.

My Article "Alasdair Gray and the Making of a Scottish Grotesque" (1994) was published here.
