About This Item
Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, 2007. Paperback. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The Vampyre is the first portrayal of the alluring vampire figure familiar to readers of Bram Stoker and Anne Rice. Ernestus Berchtold scandalously draws on the rumours of Byron's affair with his half-sister for a Faustian updating of the myth of Oedipus, which it combines with an account of the struggle of Swiss patriots against the Napoleonic invasion. Along with Polidori's work, this edition also includes stories read and written by travellers in the Genevan summer of 1816 and contemporary responses to The Vampyre and Ernestus Berchtold.
