Join us as we dive into Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the novel that started it all. You’ll discover that Stoker’s Dracula is a heartless invader, very different from the sweet and sexy figure he became in later adaptations. This reading group will be led by Nina Auerbach, the John Welsh Centennial Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Our Vampires, Ourselves. One session will be dedicated to using the Rosenbach’s notes and outlines for Dracula to uncover more about Bram Stoker’s process and his creation of one of literature’s most malicious monsters.
