There is a common misconception that the early critical reception of
Bram Stoker's famed vampire novel, Dracula (1897), was "mixed." This
reference book sets out to dispel this myth en force by offering the
most exhaustive collection of early critical responses to Stoker's novel
ever assembled, including some 91 reviews and reactions as well as 36
different press notices, many of which have not been seen in print since
they appeared over 100 years ago. What these early critical responses
reveal about Dracula's writing is that it was predominantly seen by
early reviewers and responders to parallel, even supersede the Gothic
horror works of such canonical writers as Mary Shelley, Ann Radcliffe,
and Edgar Allan Poe. Accompanying the critical responses are annotations
and an introduction by the editor, a bibliographical afterword by J.
Gordon Melton, 32 illustrations, and a bibliography.
