This valuable donation of books by and about Bram Stoker, gathered over a lifetime of interest by the late Leslie Shepard, is a treasure-trove for researchers and enthusiasts. The collection, generously donated by his daughter, Jill Shepard Glenstrup, includes books and tracts relating to the life, career and associations of Bram Stoker. Its various volumes will appeal as much to the person with general interest in the life of Stoker as to those with a more intensive enthusiasm for the background - literary, historical, geographical, and cultural - to Dracula.
The collection comprises 235 books and pamphlets relating to Bram Stoker and his creation, Dracula.
The collection comprises early editions of Stoker's works; translations of his works into French, Spanish, Italian and other languages; books on the background of Dracula, including travel guides to Transylvania in the 1880s, and many works on the cinematic treatment of dracula.
