| Summary |
The popular appeal of Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, now over a hundred years old, shows little sign of waning. It is only over the last twenty years, however, that Dracula has begun to receive much serious critical attention. This volume selects the most significant contemporary work on the novel from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, including Marxist, Psychoanalytical, Historicist, and Feminist, forming a unique collection which engages with questions about the psychological and social significance of this highly transgressive and enduringly popular text |
