Bram Stoker - A Literary Life (Hardcover, 2007 ed.)

This book charts the major events of Stoker's life, which included friendships with many of the major figures of the age and a high public profile as manager of Henry Irving's Lyceum, and maps them onto the contours of his literary career. It offers sustained critical evaluation both of "Dracula" and also of Stoker's lesser-known works, which prove to yield much interest when reinserted into their original cultural contexts.
