Bram Stoker's Notes for "Dracula": An Annotated Transcription and Comprehensive Analysis - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel "Dracula" were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed.This comprehensive work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. The co-authors draw on their extensive knowledge of "Dracula" and vampires to guide readers through the construction of the novel, and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. The appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.
