Dracula as Absolute Other

Dark, dangerous and transgressive, Bram Stoker''s Dracula is often read as Victorian society''s absolute Other--an outsider who troubles and distracts those around him, one who represents the fears and anxieties of the age.

This book is a study of Dracula''s role of absolute Other as it appears on screen, and an investigation of popular culture''s continued fascination with vampires.
