Bram Stoker worked in the theatre for most of his adult life, as
theatre reviewer in Dublin in the 1870s and as business manager at
London's Royal Lyceum Theatre in the final two decades of the 19th
century. Despite this, critical attention to the influence of the
stage on Stoker's writing has been sparse. Bram Stoker, Dracula and
the Victorian Gothic Stage addresses this lacuna, examining how
Stoker's fictions respond to and engage with Victorian theatre's
melodramatic climate and, in particular, to supernatural plays,
Gothic melodramas and Shakespearean productions that Henry Irving
and Ellen Terry performed at the Lyceum. Bram Stoker, Dracula and
the Victorian Gothic Stage locates the writer between stage and
page. It reconsiders his literary relationships with key actors,
and challenges the biographical assumption that Henry Irving
provided the model for the figure of Count Dracula.
