Behind the Bookcase Tour: Dracula: The Enduring Monster

The Rosenbach Museum & Library 2008-2010 Delancey Place, Philadelphia

Venture boldly into Bram Stoker’s handwritten notes for Dracula (character and chapter outlines, chronologies, and more!) and, with Rosenbach staff, explore what it took to create this (almost) inexorable villain. If that doesn’t sound too terrifying, hazard a look at the Rosenbach’s latest vampiric acquisitions: a colonial edition of Dracula made for India and the British colonies, and Spiritual Vampirism, printed in 1853, a volume shedding pertinent clues on the context of Stoker’s diabolical work.
