Mary Shelley’s masterpiece, “Frankenstein” (subtitled “The Modern Prometheus”) continues to ask tough questions, two centuries after its creation. Who controls life and death? What constitutes human life? Should there be limits placed on scientific research? Literary scholar Lance Rhoades explores this complex story with a multi-media examination of how Shelley addressed eternal questions in a book that, like its central character, took on a life of its own.
Rhoades completed his graduate studies in Comparative Literature and Cinema Studies at the University of Washington (UW). He has taught in several University of Washington programs and was a recipient of the UW’s Excellence in Teaching award. Rhoades has presented talks in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, and he teaches a portion of each year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
