The Irish vampire : from folklore to the imaginations of Charles Robert Maturin, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker
Abstract
"Three 19th century Irish writers -- Maturin, Le Fanu and Stoker -- used the obscure vampire of folklore in their fiction and developed a universally recognizable figure, culminating in Stoker's Dracula and the vampire of today's popular culture. This study traces the genealogy of the modern literary vampire from European mythology through the Irish literature of the 1800s"--. Provided by publisher
