Description:
"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 Stokers Dracula and the vampire of todays popular culture. This study traces the genealogy of the modern literary vampire from European mythology through the Irish literature of the 1800s"--
