Bram Stoker wrote many novels in his life; he was a brilliant author and indeed could have imagined how significant an impact his novels could have on literature throughout the ages and, especially, today. Whereas Stoker focused on how the past could influence the present and incorporated that ideology into many of his novels, including Dracula. Dracula has become one of the best-known literary masterpieces in the world. Vampires are everywhere, in many fiction novels and all over TV, which drew inspiration from Stoker's novel Dracula. Although this novel was controversial at the time of its publication in the Victorian era, it has amassed success and has continued to survive and thrive for nearly a century and a half since it was published. He attributed a lot to the literary world. This epistolary novel highlights the mystery, sexuality, and mystery that today's readers love. None of this would have been possible without Stoker himself, he “was born on November 8, 1847 in Dublin, Ireland. He was one of seven children, he fell ill early as a child, but this never held him back. In 1864, Stoker surprisingly enrolled at Dublin University, or Trinity College, to study mathematics” (Merriman 2). “Despite his adolescent illness he dedicated himself to athletics. He graduated from Trinity College with honors in 1890” (Merriman 2). “After ten years of civil service at Dublin Castle,” he left his passion for art to write theater reviews and “early established a friendly relationship with Henry Irving. Irving offered Stoker a management position at his Lyceum Theater in London. Shortly afterwards Stoker began writing novels” (Bram Stoker Biography...... middle of paper...... Dundurn, 1997.
