The Vampire in Nineteenth Century English Literature

Rating:
Summary: And You Thought There Was Only Dickens
Review: A fascinating read about representations of the vampire in 19th century literature, including an entire section on the remake of the image of the vampire from its initial Byronic male form to the femme fatale bloodsucker of the late nineteenth century. This is *not* just boring lit crit. Learn about Carmilla the lesbian vampire and Varny the vampire, two extremely popular bloodsuckers of the time.
