An International Perspective
Edited by Marius-Mircea Crisan
Palgrave Gothic Series Editor Clive Bloom Middlesex University London, UK “With Dracula now recognized as the literary classic it is, Dracula: An International Perspective assembles an entourage of this generation’s very best Dracula scholars to open new avenues of research in Stoker’s expansive Gothic environment. Editor Marius-Mircea Crișan insightfully ties together his colleagues’ wide-ranging discoveries of the vampire Count’s footprints in the lands of his unexpected origins and his travels.” —J. Gordon Melton, Distinguished Professor of American Religious History at Baylor University, USA
This series of gothic books is the first to treat the genre in its many interrelated, global and ‘extended’ cultural aspects to show how the taste for the medieval and the sublime gave rise to a perverse taste for terror and horror and how that taste became, not only international (with a huge fan base in places such as South Korea and Japan) but also the sensibility of the modern age, changing our attitudes to such diverse areas as the nature of the artist, the meaning of drug abuse and the concept of the self. The series is accessible but scholarly, with referencing kept to a minimum and theory contextualised where possible. All the books are readable by an intelligent student or a knowledgeable general reader interested in the subject.
