"Contexts" includes a full view into the background of the story, including selections on Transylvanian superstitions and the vampire genre. "Reviews and Reactions" presents readers with nineteenth century reactions in periodicals and from contemporaries. "Dramatic and Film Variations" explores how Dracula has been adapted for the stage and screen throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centujries.
