Jonathan Harker learns some horrifying information about Count Dracula as he travels to Transylvania to assist with the purchase of a London home. A young lady finds weird puncture scars on her neck; an apparently unmanned ship wrecks off the coast of Whitby; an insane prison patient cries about the 'Master' and his impending arrival—all of which occur shortly after.
One of the greatest horror films ever made is Bram Stoker's Dracula, which masterfully conjures up a terrifying world of vampires and vampire hunters while simultaneously shedding light on the murky edges of Victorian sexuality and desire.
A wide range of background information and source materials are included in this Norton Critical Edition in three categories: Contexts contains Emily Gerard and James Malcolm Rymer's earlier works, which are likely Dracula's sources of influence. A discussion of Stoker's draft manuscript comments and "Dracula's Guest," the first draft of the Dracula book, are also included. Five of the novel's early reviews are included in Reviews and Reactions. "Dramatic and Film Variations" focuses on Dracula adaptations for the stage and screen, two testaments to the book's enduring popularity. The opinions of David J. Skal, Gregory A. Waller, and Nina Auerbach are presented. There are listings of cinematic and theater adaptations as well.
Phyllis A. Roth, Carol A. Senf, Franco Moretti, Christopher Craft, Bram Dijkstra, Stephen D. Arata, and Talia Schaffer's seven theoretical readings of Dracula are included in Criticism.
Included are a Selected Bibliography and a Chronology.
