Recent politically based works on the vampire novel have been
orientated towards Irish or postcolonial contexts. In this work
Matthew Gibson couches the work of Merimee, Polidori, Le Fanu,
Stoker and Verne in the immediate and specific context in which
their works were written - namely the right response to the Balkan,
Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian politics. While tracing the views and
opinions of the writers themselves, he also analyzes their works to
reveal that the vampire acts as an allegory of the Near East
through which they suggest (rather than avow) frequently unorthodox
views, which are a challenge to critics who profess the
'orientalism' argument popular today.
