Up-to-date with a Vengeance (Dracula, Part 2)

In Part 2 of our discussion on Dracula, editor Rachel Feder discusses the inspiration for the cover of her Norton Library edition, her favorite line in the novel, how the novel relates to the popular cultural understanding of vampires, and notions of the sublime in  Gothic literature.

Rachel Feder is an associate professor of English and literary arts at the University of Denver, where her courses often bring literary history into conversation with contemporary culture. She is the author of Harvester of Hearts: Motherhood under the sign of Frankenstein and the poetry collection Birth Chart.
