Description
The Vampire: A New History A comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the vampire, this book marks the bicentenary of John Polidori's publication of The Vampyre. Nick Groom's detailed account delves into the complex history of the iconic creature, tracing its evolution from a monster embodying human fears to a symbol of marginalised voices in the 21st century. Drawing on a range of perspectives, including literature, art, medicine, and sociology, Groom presents a rich and nuanced history of the vampire. By examining the creature's role in reflecting the traumas and contradictions of the human condition, this book offers a fresh and compelling understanding of a timeless and enduring figure.
