Cover of Alberto Manguel: Bride of Frankenstein (PDF)

Manguel gives a detailed and highly sensitive account of the film”s felicities of inventive film-making. He also traces the literary roots of the Frankenstein myth, the creation of a living being by a man usurping the powers of a jealous God. And he finds echoes in the work of modern artists such as Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp of the Bride as a kind of femme fatale, monstrous and threatening.
