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. 606 $aVampires$xPolitical aspects 606 $aVampires in literature 606 $aAntisemitism in literature 606 $aSex role in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aVampires$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aVampires in literature. 615 0$aAntisemitism in literature. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 676 $a398.21 700 $aRobinson$b Sara Libby$01055890 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461815303321 996 $aBlood will tell$92489677 997 $aUNINA
