La Morte Amore: Vampire Poetry of the 1800s From the introduction,
The Dark Embrace by Corvis Nocturnum Classic romantic vampire
poetry had its roots in the early 1700s and well into the next
century. Vampires and their shift from decaying, foul revenents was
first in poetry, in poems of German writers in the mid-eighteenth
century, and soon caught the fascination of the creative libertines
of the English and Frenchmen. The mix was soon to influence writers
of the Gothic horror and Gothic romantic period and gave birth to
the modern vampire we imagine the undying to be, garbed as Ann Rice
details, resplendent in lace and velvet. I theorize, that, much
like myself, the classic scribes of yesterday was to leave a mark
on the world long after their own death, allowing them to live on
through all eternity - our own sense of immortality. So it is with
great pleasure I open the dusty tomes of the past and share the
dark embrace of the earliest vampire poems in the collection "La
