Bram Stoker : a biography of the author of Dracula / Barbara Belford. Bram Stoker and the man who was Dracula. Cambridge, Mass : Da Capo Press, 2002. xv, 381 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 359-363) and index. We see Stoker the writer of novels and stories that were imbued with sexuality, violence, and the celebration of death -- works at opposite poles from the decorum he presented in society. And in Dracula a mirror of the undercurrents of Stoker's own life, as well as a masked exploration of subjects utterly forbidden in his time -- seduction, rape, necrophilia, incest, voyeurism -- universal taboos dramatized with such a myth-making edge that the novel remains resonant and unsettling almost one hundred years later. 20110519.
