History of the Vampire: Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Continuing our series exploring the vampire, the ever-popular figure and symbol against which we can define our own humanity. Today we will be discussing probably the most famous and influential vampire in literary fiction, Dracula by Bram Stoker. We will be talking about the myriad of ways the novel complicates and extends the figure of the literary vampire while engaging with its specific contemporary context.

History of the Vampire: Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
Continuing our series exploring the vampire, the ever-popular figure and symbol against which we can define our own humanity. Today we will be looking at one of the most influential pre-Dracula vampires in Carmilla, and exploring all the ways Le Fanu extends previous vampire writings and imbues them with a distinctly contemporary and literary impetus. We will continue in the coming weeks to discuss Dracula, which owes a not inconsiderable debt to Carmilla in how it approaches the figure and crystallises it into the spectre we know today.

History of the Vampire: Literary vampires before Dracula
Continuing our series exploring the vampire, the ever-popular figure and symbol against which we can define our own humanity. Today we will be looking at a sample of the literary vampire treatments before Dracula, and particularly the ways in which they expanded on the vampire as product of the Enlightenment to create a figure with drives and motivations, as cursed as much as it curses others. Many of the countries most captivated by the historic vampire cases would take up the figure and weave it in with emerging literary trends, to explore even more frontiers of thought. In coming weeks we will talk in depth about Dracula, before moving to more modern vampire panics and vampires on film.
