The "Frankenstein" story speaks of deep fears of biological science. Tracing the history of the development of biological science and how it has been received over two centuries, this work argues that the Frankenstein story governs much of today's debate about the new age of biotechnology. Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", a tale crafted two centuries ago "to awaken thrilling horror", is a story that speaks to deep fears and desires that lie at the heart of our responses to biological science. Tracing the history of the development of biological science and how it has been received and understood by the public over two centuries, Turney's book argues that the Frankenstein story governs much of today's debate about the onrushing new age of biotechnology. Popular images of biological science have been influenced by Mary Shelley and such literary descendants as H.G. Wells, Jack London, Karel Capek and Aldous Huxley, as well as pulp writers, journalists, essayists, filmmakers and other commentators. This book examines how these images have developed as the growth of experimental methods has created a biology with real power to control and manipulate life. Frankenstein's shadow is long, Turney finds. It has affected the debates over vivisection in Victorian Britain, early 20th-century responses to the widely advertised possibility of laboratory creation of life and controversies about test-tube babies, genetic engineering and cloning. While Frankenstein remains a vehicle for expressing our collective ambivalence about some of the defining technologies of our age, the story may have outlived its usefulness as a frame for interpreting the significance of real, as opposed to fictional, science. Recognizing the need to understand the old stories, Turney calls also for new stories - stories to help with the task of shaping and regulating the unprecedented set of possibilities biological science now offers for fashioning life to suit our own ends.
