Dracula, A Case Study in Contemporary Criticism (Heftet (myke permer))

JOHN PAUL RIQUELME teaches at Boston University.

This edition of Bram Stoker's late Victorian gothic novel presents the 1897 text along with critical essays that introduce students to "Dracula" from contemporary gender, psychoanalytic, new historical, and deconstructionist perspectives. An additional essay demonstrates how various critical perspectives can be combined. The text and essays are complemented by contextual documents, introductions (with bibliographies), and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.
