And yet, until now, no one has undertaken a detailed analysis of the source of our preconceptions about the greatest vampire of them all - "Dracula", by Bram Stoker, first published in 1897.This is the first in-depth critical study of Stoker's many-faceted novel, which has some claim to be one of the most influential books, at the level of popular culture, of the last hundred years.Dr Leatherdale begins by considering the folkloric and historical background of the novel and describes the development of the vampire legend in Europe and the life of the historical Dracula - the infamous Vlad the Impaler. He also provides a biographical account of Stoker himself and discusses the genesis of his most famous book.The main part of the study offers five interpretative perspectives, beginning with the pervasive and powerful sexual symbolism of the novel. Stoker's text is then analysed in terms of its Freudian overtones, its religious themes, its relationship to occult and literary myths, and its significance as a political and social allegory.For the student and general reader alike this is the ideal companion to what the authur argues is the cultural myth of the twentieth century.Reviews:"Leatherdale is thorough on picking up Dracula's many sexual symbols and echoes." (Times Literary Supplement)"This study should find itself on the shelves of all students of popular culture and literature." (British Book News)"The ever-intriguing, dark drama of Dracula never loses its hypnotic appeal under Leatherdale's direction." (Gothic)"Leatherdale's exegesis of the Dracula phenomenon is absorbing." (Folklore)</p>

<p>To see our huge range of football books, click on "Kindle Store" and search for DESERT ISLAND SPORT.West Ham United's elite era began in 1958, when the Hammers secured their place in the top division of English football. Since then it has been a rocky ride. The team has dropped divisions from time to time, but always risen again.Even among the elite, West Ham have seldom shone, other than in occasional Cup finals. Indeed, it is necessary to back to 1985-86 to find the last season they scored more goals than they conceded in the top flight. Who better to guide us in this exploration of West Ham's elite era than the club's official historian, John Helliar? Each season is examined in detail, assisted by the author's immense knowledge. He also provides an account of what he considers to be the Match of the Season, every season.</p>
