Queer theory and Bram Stokers Dracula
Bram Stoker located his gothic masterpiece Dracula (first published in 1897) in the late nineteenth century world of technological advance (shorthand, typewriters, dictating machines, cameras) and gender and cultural instability. Dracula is written chiefly in the form of diaries and journals kept by the principal characters--Jonathan Harker, who made the first contact with the vampire Count Dracula; Mina, Jonathans wife; Dr Seward; and Lucy Westenra, a victim who herself became a vampire.
