Bram Stoker - A Literary Life. Literary Lives Series. (Electronic book text)

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 Stoker's lesser-known works, which prove to yield much interest when reinserted into their original cultural contexts.
