Krátky popis
An authoritative new history of the vampire, two hundred years
after it first appeared on the literary scene Published to mark the
bicentenary of John Polidori's publication of The Vampyre, Nick
Groom's detailed new account illuminates the complex history of the
iconic creature. The vampire first came to public prominence in the
early eighteenth century, when Enlightenment science collided with
Eastern European folklore and apparently verified outbreaks of
vampirism, capturing the attention of medical researchers,
political commentators, social theorists, theologians, and
philosophers. Groom accordingly traces the vampire from its role as
a monster embodying humankind's fears, to that of an unlikely hero
for the marginalized and excluded in the twenty-first
century.Drawing on literary and artistic representations, as well
as medical, forensic, empirical, and sociopolitical perspectives,
this rich and eerie history presents the vampire as a strikingly
complex being that has been used to express the traumas and
contradictions of the human condition.
