A coherent narrative follows Enlightenment studies of the vampire's origins in folklore and folk panics, the sources of vampire fiction, through Romantic incarnations in 'Byron' and 'Polidori' to Le Fanu's 'Carmilla'. Further essays discuss the Undead in the context of "Dracula", fin-de-sieÌcle decadence, Nazi Germany and early cinematic treatments. The rise of the sympathetic vampire is charted from Coppola's film, 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', to 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. More recent manifestations in novels, TV, Goth subculture, young adult fiction and cinema are dealt with in discussions of 'True Blood' and 'The Vampire Diaries'. Featuring distinguished contributors, including a prominent novelist, and aimed at interdisciplinary scholars or postgraduate students, it will also appeal to aficionados of creative writing and Undead enthusiasts. 650 0 $a Vampires in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85141949 650 0 $a Vampires on television. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2006005812 650 0 $a Vampire films $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117672 700 1 $a George, Sam, $c Dr. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2008000798 700 1 $a Hughes, Bill. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96002623 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105035537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1EFA6366F1E711E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
