Hardcover. Condición: New. The Vampire Tale, by Alok Bhalla, is not an anecdotal account of popular texts about vampires. Instead, the book is a scholarly and imaginative analysis of why many fictional works in England used vampiric motifs to think about the problem of evil in human beings and inequality in society. Bhalla sugge…sts that vampire stories are disturbing because they are structured out of the unresolved conflicts between ethics and politics, freedom and labour, eroticism and power that were being discussed extensively in the Romantic and Victorian age. The vampire legend, Bhalla argues, offers a non-redemptive, nightmare history of the moral, social and political conditions England between 1750 and the end of the nineteenth century. The book opens with a brief survey of a few major moral, political and psychological reasons that inform the vampire lore. The two original and complex sections that follow show how the vampire myth is invoked in the works of Lord Byron, John Polidori, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Preskett Prest, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and others to examine issues of sexuality, law and religion. In the final section, Bhalla demonstrates that Bram Stoker's Dracula is simultaneously a novel of supernatural terror and a visionary account of late Victorian London as a city of affliction and dread. Bhalla's thesis is that the vampire tale is the product of a dark imagination that sees nothing but horror at the heart of things as they are and finds no rationally coherent explanation for it.
