The Narrative Fabric of Bram Stoker's Dracula: Myth, Symbol, and Skepticism

Abstract

Each presentation on this panel traces one thread within the complex fabric making up the narrative of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Recognizing that novels are situated in time and space, these presentations individually anchor the work's narrative as a product of received folktales and contemporary history, an embodiment of the Victorian struggle between science and skepticism, or dramatizations of new opinions about domesticated and feral animals in Victorian Britain.
