“The book specifically focuses on how members of this “family of rebels” influenced one another and became leading figures who played a very important role in society as visionary intellectuals…Drawing on insights offered by psychoanalytic critics, the writer shows how the rebellious streak runs in the family and shapes their artistic creations.”

Reviews

“The present study carries as direct a title as it is indicative of cultural mutations at the individual and collective level: Bakay takes on board facts and details of the lives of the referenced authors only to pursue their surfacing and role in the literary life of their works, with special emphasis on subversive, progressive and alternative views advanced by their Family of Rebels.”
-Prof. Mihaela Irimia, Ph.D.,

“This book gives a new and challenging status of Dr. Frankenstein and his “monster” through Dr. Bakay’s point of view.”
-Prof. Gönül Uçele,
