Full Description
This is the first postcolonial edition of Bram Stoker's gothic classic. Jonathan Harker's colonial adventure and Bram Stoker's imperialist discourse are restored to their original context: British economic and political involvement in East-Central Europe. Relying on both British and Romanian sources, this edition avoids misinformation perpetuated by previous editions of the novel and exposes the cultural appropriation and distortion of Romanian history and folklore. Richly annotated (there are 528 explanatory notes), with an introduction that sets the tone for a postcolonial analysis, the present edition is unique in its approach as well as in the use of Stoker's original sources.
