Description
1. Introduction: Science, Spiritualism and Bram Stoker in XIX-century England More than a hundred years have elapsed since Dracula was first published and it still stands out as one of the most influential creations in the world of literature and arts. (1) Appearing in June 1897, Bram Stoker's novel raised the vampire tradition--from previous works such as Polidori's The Vampyre (1819), James Malcolm Rymer's Varney the Vampyre: or, The Feast of Blood (1847) or Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla (1872)--to its highest and most popular summit, and created, at a stroke, one of the greatest myths Western culture. This epistolary novel was released at the dusk of the nineteenth century, in the so-called fin-de-siecle. As several critics have pointed out, this period was characterized by an astonishing development of the different sciences, along with profound inquiry into the degeneration principles arising from Darwinist postulates (Ledger and Luckhurst 2000; Stiles 2006b). To highlight two new intellectual standpoints, the end of the century experienced the growth of a scientific naturalism, and witnessed the birth and development of modern psychology, with outstanding names such as David Ferrier, John Hughlings Jackson and James Crichton-Browne (founders of the Brain journal in 1878), or Sir William Thornley Stoker (Bram Stoker's brother and President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland).
