Vampire Literature: An Anthology

by Robin A. Werner (Editor), Elizabeth Miller Lewis (editor)

Vampire An Anthology is the first anthology of vampire literature designed specifically for use in the higher education classroom. As Nina Auerbach argues in her introduction to Our Vampires, Ourselves, vampires are “personifications of their age”; with coverage from the early nineteenth century to the twenty-first, Vampire An Anthology brings together a wide range of texts from many eras―and bring together as well work by American, British, Irish, and Caribbean writers. The focus is on shorter prose texts, primarily short stories and novellas (Polidori’s The Vampyre and LeFanu’s Carmilla are included in full); in a few cases, longer works are excerpted. Included as well are a range of illustrations and other visual materials.

With an informative general introduction, headnotes to each selection, and explanatory footnotes throughout, Vampire An Anthology is ideally suited for use in the undergraduate classroom.
