| Description: | Select Guide Rating An experiment into the sources of the human brain through the mind of a young woman has gone horribly wrong. She has seen the great God Pan and will die giving birth to a daughter, Helen Vaughan. Helen Vaughan becomes the source of much fevered speculation when, twenty years later, she is feted as a society hostess of great charm. The Great God Pan caused a furore in London as the pagan demoness who is its central figure seemed to link the sense of horror with a prurient sexuality. The story concerns the doings of evil scientists and women who become monsters at their hands, and they shed an interesting light on current debates concerning fin de siecle misogyny and evolutionary degeneration. |
