"One sets a very high bar in claiming that a book on Frankenstein advances a new, important reading--especially one appearing in 2018, when worldwide commemorations of the bicentenary of the first edition are focusing unprecedented attention on Shelley's novel. But such a feat is ventured and gained by Eileen Hunt Botting's Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child" -- The Modern Language Review, " Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child, in its passion and commitments, vividly illustrates Frankenstein's continuing power, two hundred years on, to comment on the pressing political issues of the day."-- Modern Philology, Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child, in its passion and commitments, vividly illustrates Frankenstein's continuing power, two hundred years on, to comment on the pressing political issues of the day., "Readers of Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child will never again be able to read Frankenstein simply as a work of Gothic fiction that questioned the counter-theology and scientific bravado of its day. Eileen Hunt Botting, more thoroughly than any previous commentator, has revealed the philosophical content of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and has firmly placed it in the context of modern political thought."--Gordon Schochet, Rutgers University, Treating the creature as an abandoned and abused child, Eileen Hunt Botting brilliantly uses the novel Frankenstein to mount a series of thought experiments that interrogate the enduring political questions of whether children have rights and, if so, which ones. Deftly summarizing the positions of such writers as Hobbes, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, and Onora O'Neill, Botting persuasively argues for a child's universal rights to care, identity, and love-rights that Botting here extends to disabled, stateless, and genetically modified children., While there has been a great deal written within literary theory and criticism on the novel Frankenstein , and there is a substantial, and growing, literature within moral and political philosophy on the rights of children and the obligations of parents, Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child is the first book to bring these two areas of inquiry together. Eileen Hunt Botting's fascinating analysis shows how literary texts, suitably reinterpreted, can make better sense of key philosophical claims., "While there has been a great deal written within literary theory and criticism on the novel Frankenstein , and there is a substantial, and growing, literature within moral and political philosophy on the rights of children and the obligations of parents, Mary Shelley and the Rights of the Child is the first book to bring these two areas of inquiry together. Eileen Hunt Botting's fascinating analysis shows how literary texts, suitably reinterpreted, can make better sense of key philosophical claims."--David Archard, Queen's University Belfast, "Treating the creature as an abandoned and abused child, Eileen Hunt Botting brilliantly uses the novel Frankenstein to mount a series of thought experiments that interrogate the enduring political questions of whether children have rights and, if so, which ones.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
