- This interdisciplinary monograph of 96,000 words is the result of 5 years research. It brings together the fields of literary study and the histories of science and technology, and political history. It combines the study of canonical texts like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein with material that has never been previously analysed, ranging across scientific, philosophical, literary and political texts from 1740-1840, and offering new understandings of the significance of electricity as a new science at this period. It is published by Palgrave Macmillan after a process of anonymous peer-review and revision, and has received positive reviews in a range of journals.
