Senf traces the vampire's evolution from folklore to twentieth-century popular culture and explains why this creature became such an important metaphor in Victorian England. This bloodsucker who had stalked the folklore of almost every culture became the property of serious artists and thinkers in Victorian England, including Charlotte and Emily Bronte?, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels. People who did not believe in the existence of vampires nonetheless saw numerous metaphoric possibilities in a creature from the past that exerted pressure on the present and was often threatening because of its sexuality. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror tales, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aVampires in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror tales, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aVampires in literature. 676 $a823/.8/09375 700 $aSenf$b Carol A$0163395 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966331603321 996 $aThe vampire in nineteenth-century English literature$94366031 997 $aUNINA
