Winner, 2008 Lord Ruthven Award in Nonfiction-Lord Ruthven Society. Best Book of the Year-Famous Monsters of Filmland Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed. This comprehensive work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. The coauthors draw on their extensive knowledge of Dracula and vampires to guide readers through the construction of the novel, and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. Nine appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.

Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula: A Facsimile Edition

Miller, Elizabeth

McFarland Company

“An absolute must for Dracula, Horror, and Literary History aficionados the world over.” In the author’s full, original form, Dracula: Annotated is the very first edition of Bram Stoker’s timeless classic horror novel to be written by a member of Bram Stoker’s family, Dacre Stoker, his great-grandnephew, with award-winning vampire expert, Robert Eighteen-Bisang.\nThis 125th Anniversary edition of Dracula considers all the text known to have been put into or taken out of the Dracula oeuvre by Bram Stoker’s own hand. Deftly weaving together every known version of Dracula that Bram created, this edition uses Bram’s Original Notes for Dracula; the typescript of Dracula (entitled The Un-Dead); “Dracula’s Guest”; and Bram’s early outlines (ca. 1890) for the novel’s first, second, and third chapters – with Constable’s text of 1897 as the base.\nWithin these pages are Bram’s hand-written changes and all of the pre-publication deletions from the original typescript, as well as the entire abridged edition of 1901— read for the first time the changes Bram made to create his dramatic adaptation of Dracula in 1897 and note the differences in the Doubleday & McClure and William Rider texts.\nThis exceptional, incredibly unique slice of literary history represents a rare insight into the remarkable creative process of Bram Stoker, the grand master of horror himself.
