- Synopsis
- Frankenstein. Werewolves. Dracula. These images aren't just imaginary creatures--they're also powerful symbols of the body. The body can be thought of as a machine made up of parts like Frankenstein's monster, or as a creature ruled by animalistic urges, or as an entity that's vulnerable to infection from a diseased fiend. In The Body of Frankenstein's Monster, Cecil Helman, M.D., expands our view of our bodies by exploring its cultural and artistic representations.
