SUMMARY:Happy Hour: Vampire Literature: An Anthology (National Event)
DESCRIPTION:Co-Authors Dr. Robin Werner and her colleague\, Dr. Elizabeth Lewis\, will discuss their book titled Vampire Literature: An Anthology. Specifically\, they will talk about the anthology’s inspiration and the challenges of the creation process. \n\n\n\nVampire Literature: An Anthology is the first anthology designed specifically to introduce students and general readers to the history\, theory\, and cultural impact of the literary vampire. With coverage from the early nineteenth century to the twenty-first\, Vampire Literature: An Anthology brings together a wide range of texts from many eras and collects work by American\, British\, Irish\, and Caribbean writers. The focus is on shorter prose texts\, primarily short stories and novellas; in a few cases\, longer works are excerpted. A range of illustrations\, from political cartoons to film stills\, is also included. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this discussion on an often-misunderstood genre of literature by highly acclaimed authors who bring considerable research into the topic.
