{"product_id":"the-vampyre-john-william-polidori-9781857547870","title":"The Vampyre: And Other Writings","description":"A fascinating but shadowy figure of Romanticism, John Polidori was the sensitive but fierce writer behind one of literature's most notorious characters--the vampyre. This short story reveals the seductive figure of evil, who continues to exert a powerful influence over popular culture and who cemented Polidori's status within the Gothic tradition. This collection also makes available many of Polidori's lesser-known and hard-to-find works, including a medical thesis on nightmares, an essay on the source of pleasures, poetry and personal diaries, and the novel \u003ci\u003eModern Oedipus\u003c\/i\u003e. These works combine to help illuminate and deepen the reader's understanding of Romanticism and the Gothic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John William Polidori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185754787X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857547870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"John William Polidori","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939029057791,"sku":"9781857547870","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d81baa0a-a2cb-449a-b8fa-d2336bd36539.jpg?v=1681439078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-vampyre-john-william-polidori-9781857547870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
