Carol A. Senf traces the vampire's evolution from folklore to
twentieth-century popular culture and explains why this creature
became such an important metaphor in Victorian England. This
bloodsucker who had stalked the folklore of almost every culture
became the property of serious artists and thinkers in Victorian
England, including Charlotte and Emily Bronte, George Eliot,
Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels. People who did
not believe in the existence of vampires nonetheless saw numerous
metaphoric possibilities in a creature from the past that exerted
pressure on the present and was often threatening because of its
sexuality.
