The legacy of John Polidori: The Romantic vampire and its progeny
Bill Hughes-Sam George
This collection explores the genesis of John Polidori’s foundational novella The Vampyre (1819). It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy from the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, through further Gothic fictions and horror films, to twenty-first century paranormal romance. -- .
