Bram Stoker's Dracula is the most famous vampire in
literature and film. This new collection of sixteen essays brings
together a range of internationally renowned scholars to provide a
series of pathways through this celebrated Gothic novel and its
innumerable adaptations and translations. The volume illuminates
the novel's various pre-histories, critical contexts and subsequent
cultural transformations. Chapters explore literary history, Gothic
revival scholarship, folklore, anthropology, psychology, sexology,
philosophy, occultism, cultural history, critical race theory,
theatre and film history, and the place of the vampire in Europe
and beyond. These studies provide an accessible guide of
cutting-edge scholarship to one of the most celebrated modern
Gothic horror stories. This Companion will serve as a
key resource for scholars, teachers and students interested in the
enduring force of Dracula and the seemingly inexhaustible range of
the contexts it requires and readings it might generate.
