Most famous for his novel Dracula, Bram Stoker was nonetheless a
prolific writer. This new book offers an introduction to the range
of his work - novels, short stories, biography and criticism. It
provides a discussion of recent scholarship on Stoker including the
many attempts to write his life and find the 'real' Bram Stoker,
and the lurid speculation this provokes. Moving beyond this, the
author focuses on Stoker's career as a late-Victorian and Edwardian
novelist in the commercial marketplace, looking at the fictional
trends (horror, romance, adventure, crime) which his work
encompasses. Andrew Maunder explores Stoker's bid for fame as a
writer, how his novels were received, and their engagement with
contemporary anxieties about gender and nationhood. Finally, he
examines recent criticism in addition to the ways in which later
generations have read Stoker, including the continuing fascination
exerted by works like Dracula on writers and film-makers.
