Vampires And Vampirism - Dudley Wright

Vampires And Vampirism (1914) Is A Work From Another Era, A Time When Belief And Wonder Led Some To Travel Down Pathways Of Knowledge In Search Of Truth And Terror, Not Knowing What They Would Find. Written In Response To An Awakened Popular Interest In Supernormal Phenomena In The Early Twentieth Century, Dudley Wrights Vampires And Vampirism Traces The History Of Vampirism Around The World, From Ancient Babylonia, Assyria, And Greece, To Great Britain, Germany, And Eastern Europe. Beginning With The Question What Is A Vampire?, Wright Seeks To First Define The Term Before Moving Into An Analysis Of How Belief In Vampirism Emerged From Various And Distant Religious And Cultural Traditions.
