Oboler Library Hosts Bicentennial Frankenstein Exhibit
Oboler Library will host a reception to launch the exhibit 鈥淪eeing Frankenstein: Two Centuries of Imagining Mary Shelley鈥檚 Novel鈥� on Wednesday, January 17 at 5 PM. The reception is free and open to the public.
Since its publication in January 1818, Mary Shelley鈥檚 Frankenstein has captivated readers with its eloquence, its terrors, and its exploration of the promises and perils of human knowledge and inquiry. It has also inspired a range of responses, interpretations, and adaptations in theater, film, comics, and television. This exhibit focuses on some key contributions to the ongoing reception of Shelley鈥檚 work.
Exhibit designers Jeffrey Howard (PhD in English, 糖心传媒) and Matthew VanWinkle (assistant professor of English, 糖心传媒) will speak briefly at the reception, providing background and context for the exhibit. 鈥淪eeing Frankenstein鈥� will be on display through the end of February.
