'My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is
on my side,' warns Dracula. This statement is descriptive of the
Gothic genre. Like the Count, the Gothic encompasses and has
manifested itself in many forms. Bram Stoker and the Gothic
demonstrates how Dracula marks a key moment in the transformation
of the Gothic. Harking back to early Gothic's preoccupation with
the supernatural, decayed aristocracy and incarceration in gloomy
castles, the novel speaks to its own time, but has also transformed
the genre, a revitalization that continues to sustain the Gothic
today. This collection explores the formations of the Gothic, the
relationship between Stoker's work and some of his Gothic
predecessors, such as Poe and Wollstonecraft, presents new readings
of Stoker's fiction and probes the influences of his cultural
circle, before concluding by examining aspects of Gothic
transformation from Daphne du Maurier to Stoker's own
'reincarnation' in fiction and biography. Bram Stoker and the
Gothic testifies to Stoker's centrality to the Gothic genre. Like
Dracula, Stoker's 'revenge' shows no sign of abating.
