Beyond Dracula: Bram Stoker's Fiction and its Cultural Context
Beyond Dracula represents an important critical departure from the customary psychoanalytical approach to the writings of Bram Stoker.

In its considerations of questions of religion, censorship, gender and medicine, the volume will interest not merely readers of the Gothic but those involved in the study of Victorian and Edwardian culture.
