Dracula
An Irish writer, Abraham “Bram” stoker is best remembered as the author of the influential horror novel, Dracula and spent eight years researching European folklore and stories about vampires before writing it.
Dracula is an epistolary
novel, written as a collection of diary entries, telegrams, and letters
from the characters, as well as fictional clippings from the Whitby and
London newspapers. It explores themes such as the role of women in
Victorian culture, conventional and repressed sexuality, immigration,
colonialism, post colonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not
invent the vampire, the novel’s influence on the popularity of vampires
has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film
interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
