Reviews for The Living Dead: A Study of the Vampire in Romantic Literature
Twitchell offers us, through his study of the vampire as a psychological device of Romanticism, a number of stimulating and even startling interpretations of well-known works. In what is perhaps the most rewarding chapter, we are shown how vampirism can be a metaphor of artistic creation itself.
