Reviews
""Every Dracula scholar needs to read this book. After visiting Romania myself, I came away realizing how the Romanian people could very easily be disgusted by the stereotypes their country has come to be associated with because of Stoker's novel. Artenie makes a compelling argument that Stoker purposely wrote about Dracula in a context of colonialism in terms of the products Romania provided to the British Empire as well as how the marriage of Mary of Teck to the future George V brought Vlad Tepes' bloodline into the British royal family. It is time Romanian voices are heard as part of the discourse on Dracula and Stoker's depiction of them as The Other receives attention."" -- Tyler Tichelaar, PhD
