SEDUCTRESS AND MURDERESS --Conclusion --Bibliography --IndexBlood Will Tell explores the ways in which writers, thinkers, and politicians used blood and vampire-related imagery to express social and cultural anxieties in the decades leading up to the First World War. Covering a wide variety of topics, including science, citizenship, gender, and anti-Semitism, Robinson demonstrates the ways in which rhetoric tied to blood and vampires permeated political discourse and transcended the disparate cultures of Great Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, forming a cohesive political and cultural metaphor. An excellent resource, both for students of nineteenth century cultural history and for those interested in the historical roots of Western fascination with vampires.VampiresPolitical aspectsVampires in literatureAntisemitism in literatureSex role in literatureVampiresPolitical aspects.Vampires in literature.Antisemitism in literature.Sex role in literature.398.21Robinson Sara Libby1514633MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790292803321Blood will tell3749929UNINA
