| Summary: | Literaryre-workings of Genesis—by which is often meant, incidentally, as indeed also here, the first three books of Genesis, telling of the creation and the fall—are both numerous (see Watson Kirkconnell's The Celestial Cycle, Toronto, 1952, for example, with less obvious instances in works like R. W. B. Lewis, The American Adam, Chicago, 1955) and much studied. Ana M. Acosta's excellent study focuses upon a group of works in the period extending from the nine-book Paradise Lost in 1667 to Frankenstein in 1818, devoting full chapters not only to Milton and to Mary Shelley, but also to Rousseau and to Mary Wollstonecraft. |
