It occurred to me that, between this year’s Vampires on the Margins series and The Vampyre’s Legacy from last year, not to mention a couple of one-off articles I’ve done on the side, I’ve covered a fairly large chunk of nineteenth century vampie literature over at WWAC. So, in case anyone wants to read it all together in chronological order, here’s a quick list:
- John Polidori’s “The Vampyre” (1819)
- Uriah Derick D’Arcy’s “The Black Vampyre” (1819)
- Cyprien Bérard’s Lord Ruthwen ou les Vampires (1820)
- Théophile Gautier’s “La morte amoureuse” (1836)
- James Malcolm Rymer’s Varney the Vampire (1845-7)
- Elizabeth F. Ellet’s “The Vampyre” (1849)
- Charles Wilkins Webber’s Spiritual Vampirism (1853)
- Paul Féval’s Le Chevalier Ténèbre (1860)
- J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1871-2)
- Eliza Lynn Linton’s “The Fate of Madame Cabanel” (1880)
- Karl Heinrich Ulrichs’ “Manor” (1885)
- Anne Crawford’s “A Mystery of the Campagna” (1886)
- Mary Cholmondeley’s “Let Loose” (1890)
- Eric Stenbock’s “The True Story of a Vampire” (1894)
- Violet Hunt’s “The Prayer” (1895)
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897)
- Florence Marryat’s The Blood of the Vampire (1897)
