Summary

"The text investigates the role that Russophobia played in the formation of Bram Stoker's fictional works. Offering historical information about Russophobia and the Crimean War, including the consequences of the post-war fallout, Slavic and Balkan connections, and analysis of Stoker's vampiric themes, this is a work of two nations' histories that intertwine through an unexpected literary avenue"--Provided by publisher.
