This class uses a range of literary texts to trace the growth of the vampire trope from its first appearance in English-language fiction in the early years of the nineteenth century. Centering on classic works by Lord Byron, John Polidori, Sheridan le Fanu, Bram Stoker, and others, we learn about the formation of the modern literary canon, the folklore of the undead, and the creation of one of the most prolific popular culture genres—vampire fiction—which reached its first apotheosis in Stoker’s masterwork, Dracula.

Explanatory Note: This is a lightly annotated list of sources for critical, pedagogical, and primary texts for the class. Since I teach the class with variations, I have included sources for the different myths/folklore I tend to teach (see categories below). I intend to use this list as a starting point each time I teach the course—but to make decisions about individual texts/regions on a case by case basis.

This list may also be useful to others teaching the course—many of the sources below have myth and folklore from other regions as well as the ones I have listed.
