The legacy of John Polidori

The Romantic vampire and its progeny

Herausgeber: George, Sam; Hughes, Bill

Beschreibung

This collection explores the genesis of John Polidoriâ s foundational novella The Vampyre (1819). It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy from the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, through further Gothic fictions and horror films, to twenty-first century paranormal romance. -- .
