Dracula by Bram Stoker
Lit & Phil:
Thursday 14 March, 6.30pm
This talk looks at the 1897 novel by Bram
Stoker, revealing its author’s innovative combination of folklore, Gothic
conventions and deliberate modernity. It also explores the way that Dracula
has overwhelmed the older types of the vampire recorded in genuine accounts of
superstition and belief, and illustrates those movie representations that have
moulded our expectations of what a vampire should be. Second and third talks
follow on 21 and 28 March. Free event, no booking required. For more
information, see www.litandphil.org.uk.
