This volume analyses the role of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and its sequels in the evolution of the Gothic. As well as the transformation of the Gothic location—from castles, cemeteries and churches to the modern urban gothic—this volume explores the evolution of the undead considering a range of media from the 18th century protagonist to sympathetic contemporary vampires of teen Gothic. The book has an interdisciplinary approach with chapters focusing on literature, tourism, and film. It argues that the development of the Dracula myth is the result of complex international influences and cultural interactions. Offering a multifarious perspective that combines analyses of authoritative voices with interpretations by a new generation of scholars, this volume is a reference work that will be useful to both academic and general readers.
