Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” comes to us fortuitously, as the end product of a ghost story competition suggested by Lord Byron on the shores of Lake Geneva in the summer of 1816. Like the title character’s famous creation, the novel has taken on a life of its own, haunting our imaginations and promising to return to us when we least expect it. But should nineteenth-century tales about monsters really occupy a place on our contemporary lists of “required” reading? We’ve taken to symbolizing the truths it contains through the metaphor of a huge green man with bolts through his neck, and while we refer to it as a ghost story that might best be experienced on a dreary November evening, is this merely our way of convincing ourselves that fear itself is fictional? The creature’s fears are our own, and we should once again face him, and them, head on.

Regarded by many scholars and critics as one of the wittiest plays in the English language, “The Importance of Being Earnest” is a classic comedy of manners in which two flippant young men, in order to impress their respected beloveds, pretend that their names are “Ernest,” which both young ladies believe confers magical qualities on the possessor. Wilde uses this plot device to skewer English social pretensions to hilarious effect.
