This volume helps teachers contextualize Bram Stoker's Dracula in its historical and cultural moment, considering psychology, technology, gender roles, colonialism, and anxieties about the other. It also situates the novel among the kindred texts that have proliferated since its publication, from film and television to the growing genre of vampire novels. Essays explore the novel in terms of medical humanities, contagion, and the gothic as well as ethnicity, identity, and race. Contributors analyze Dracula in the context of various ancient and modern cultural productions, including classical Indian aesthetics and African American vampire literature, and describe a broad range of classroom settings, including a technical university, a Hispanic-serving institution, and others.
