Description
Stoker is best remembered today as the author of "Dracula," However, as twelve essays in this volume demonstrate, Stoker's work blends the Gothic with the discourses of politics, sexuality, medicine and national identity to produce texts that may be read by a variety of critical methodologies. Following an introduction which analyzes how Stoker's writings have been critically received in the 20th century, the book addresses not merely "Dracula" but also the author's other writings through historicism, psychology and genre.
