%X starting with the polemic about frankenstein's (1818) authorship, i develop an analysis that includes it in a cultural history of subjectivity. the book is an example of the early gothic, probably the first book of science fiction, but it also takes part in a lineage of novels that explore the experience of being haunted by a phantom, a memory, a monster. i try to reconstitute that experience in historical and social psychological terms to comprehend the relations between desire, norms, and cultural conventions in the emergence of compulsory heterosexuality.
