Dusting Off the Classics Book Group-- Dracula In-Person / Online
Join us for “Dusting Off the Classics” with facilitator Christopher Proctor. This month's selection is Dracula by Bram Stoker. We will be meeting in the Applegate Room on the lower level of the library, or you may join us virtually.
Dracula is perhaps almost as interesting regarded historically as the product of a specific time as it is engaging to continuing generations of readers in a 'timeless' fashion. In her introduction Byron first discusses the famous novel as an expression not of universal fears and desires but of specifically late nineteenth-century concerns. At the same time she is entirely attuned to the ways in which, however much Dracula is a Victorian text, Dracula is a very twentieth-century character, a representative of modernity and of the future.
Christopher Proctor is an academic librarian and faculty member at Indiana University Southeast Library.
