Henry Clerval Scolding Victor Frankenstein: An Autoethnographic Poem about Graduate Students and Their Daemons
Henze, Adam David
McGill Journal of Education, v55 n3 p685-692 2020
This article explores the "daemons" that many university students face by exploring Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" in a creative way. Using a poetic method called "erasure," the author of this article cut fragmented descriptions of Victor Frankenstein, and stitched them together to craft a poem about the need for self-care in the university setting. The poem includes a preface to provide some theoretical context and background information on "Frankenstein."
