character was 'inspired' by Tepes or that Stoker knew anything about him apart from his title of Voivode and the Dracula name, but it does mean Van Helsing is stating the historical Vlad Tepes is the character in the novel. It seems to me there is a distinction to be made (and is being made by the quoted shcolars) between being "inspired by" knowledge of the historical figure and his practices, and simply using the name and attributing it to the historical figure. Dan Farson's comment as quoted above, taken at face value, could be taken as implying Stoker had never heard of Vlad Tepes. That clearly can't have been the case, because as the relevant passage from the novel makes clear, Stoker knows there was a historical figure named Dracula who had been Voivode of Transylvania. Whether he knew him as Vlad Tepes or simply as Dracula seems to me to be beside the point.

asking for was sales figures. Those don't exist. We can only work things out from context, but the amount of writing required to elaborate on "the novel didn't sell well" (from a high qualify source) feels excessive. I could expand that Stoker was forced to take out a loan a few years later, for example, for the family's move, but I don't know what it adds. The novel was enjoyed by those who read it at the time (as the end of reception indicates), but Stoker did not make much money from it, and his wife was very poor after his death. —

divided into more subvariants such as Muntenian and Oltenian, probably the one in southeastern Transylvania is also considered its own but I am not sure about that, but the reality is that it isn't like Oltenian and Muntenian are considerably more similar to each other than with the southeastern Transylvanian variant as to form their own group within the southern variant of Romania, so a Wallachian dialect doesn't really exist. Here are some maps to understand it better

background, and see a Jew or a 'person of colour', that's on you. Not on Bram Stoker. If Stoker had explicitly stated that Dracula represented his fear of immigrants, then it would certainly merit inclusion here. But instead we just have the baseless speculation of a few professional whiners. Hell, the real historical Vlad Dracul is admired by the European far-right today because he spent his life defending Europe from his country's Muslim neighbours.

outstretched crucifix) and Van Helsing has actually used a special putty to keep Lucy *out* of her tomb; once she is unable to embrace Arthur, she turns back to her tomb but cannot re-enter it until Van Helsing removes some of this putty. So she is not driven back ("warded") to her tomb, but rather allowed to re-enter it when it is clear that is where she wants to go. If she had wanted to go anywhere else, the men had no ability to stop her.

relevant information. For instance, they would see that Stoker's main occupation was not writer (he was foremost a stage manager); they would see that writing supplemented his income rather than being its primary constituent; and, sadly, they would see that Florence Stoker was left quite poor when Stoker died, forced to sell his notes for a pittance (about £200 today). I can't really get any more explicit than that without
1428: 1083: 2086:. As a non-Romani 21st Century Canadian, racism against Romani seems remote to me, but it is a reality which may have played a role in Stoker's writing. Also, the only clearly Jewish person in the book is Dracula's agent, Hildesheim, who is described in negative racial terms by Harker. I am aware of the WP rule against Original Research, so this is simply a suggestion of stuff to watch for in the scholarly literature. 227: 405: 280: 966: 1418: 3394:

It's a distinction because the novel likely sold fine, but not enough to produce royalties for Stoker. Publishers, then and now, pay a flat fee, then no royalties are paid until that upfront fee is met in sales, then royalties begin. I'm happy to move this to the bottom of Reception, if you like? —

else. He's plaguing Lucy, not the town (although arguably she wants his attention, so "plague" still seems a bit off). To my mind the majority of the book's narrative is Harker at the castle, then Dracula's machinations and their consequences in England, which the synopsis barely covers. It can't cover it. The best 63 word summary of Dracula in history couldn't hit all the necessary points.

If you like, I can expand adaptations somewhat, mentioning more major adaptations and their influence, but I think beyond an extra paragraph or so, it would probably become an unnecessary strain on the article, especially given that there's a derivative article for that explicit purpose.

the Ottoman Empire, devastating the villages along the Danube.” b. Stoker has a character say, “He must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land.” The article on the novel makes the identification of Dracula with Dracula sound like a tenuous theory rather than the obvious truth.
3561:. Adding this information now, when it can't be given proper time, will make it a trivia section, regardless of the sourcing. I don't even believe it needs its own full heading. "Adaptations" will be renamed to Legacy, constituting two subheadings (Adaptations and Influence). If this is a sticking point for you, I don't object to you failing the article now. — 611: 1572: 2214:]. From page 130 (a footnote explanation to the term's first instance): "This group of crusaders includes Van Helsing himself, Dr. John Seward, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and later Jonathan Harker; the title Crew of Light is mine, but I have taken my cue from Stoker: Lucy, lux, light."

The reason is that you can't well-summarize a great work of this length in 63 words! As I indicated, it's not the fault of the editor who wrote this. A good synopsis just won't fit here. A lead that introduces the premise (say, 2398: 3480:

These are the major interpretive responses to the novel. Psychoanalysis will have some overlap with the "Gender and sexuality" section of Major themes, so I'll need to be careful there. 2138:- I was a little puzzled by the "identity preservation" idea as written, since Seward's journal was dictated into a phonograph; I don't recall any indication that he even knows shorthand writing. Harker's journal entries from Castle Dracula are definitely a coping strategy though; he even says as much. 5576:

The "Harker escapes the castle ..., and the Count moves to England..." sentence is long and unwieldy, but if you're trying to condense the plot this much I can see how you get that.

If you don't want to address this area until later, I can close the review, but it would be with great regret because I think the article is super close to passing!

It became the benchmark after which later vampire narratives were patterned. This development, however, was not immediately realized until the 1920s.

RE: Success. There are sources which will mention that the novel didn't sell well. In Barbra Belford's biography, for example.

As always, my particular bailiwick is keeping an eye on the plot. I notice that someone has added a footnote about the hunters waiting outside the tomb until daylight to stake Lucy.

The discussion under “Influences” of whether Dracula is Vlad the Impaler is silly. 1. a. Vlad the Impaler was called Dracula. b. the Count in the novel is called Dracula. This should be a clue. 2. a. Our article on Vlad says, “Vlad Dracula … 1428/31 – 1476/77… was Voivode of Wallachia”; “He invaded

Revisied the alt, but I'll say that my preference is still for the primary hook, not the alternate which I'm aware has issues. What "dracula" actually meant is irrelevant to the reason Stoker picked it. He didn't pick it because of Vlad the Impaler; he liked the meaning given in whatever book he saw

The main problem is that I can't substantiate that. Do you have any sourcing to that effect? All of the sourcing that I have reiterate what Stoker said, or simply reproduce it without comment. Don't get me wrong—I believe you! I just can't make it reflect what is accurate because that's not what the

This is sort of a matter of taste, but I would be inclined to move the "Major themes" section down.

Just to follow-up on this, I've spoken with a few others and they concur that readers might come to the article for basic information without wanting to know how the novel ends. If they do want to know how the novel ends, there's an (in my view already over-long) plot summary just a little further

To me, the summary in the intro falls squarely in this category, as it so strongly provokes the reader to wonder whether they succeeded in their attempt to kill him. I don't see an issue with the alternative wording you mentioned, except maybe on an aesthetic level, though I'm sure there are other

No problem at all! Your changes are terrific. I'm going to be moving off Plot now, and onto the rest of the article. I'm going to start with the novel's critical reception. I'd recommend not touching anything outside of plot, because I might end up removing it, and I don't want you to waste any of

I take your point, yes. Garlic's effect on vampires was indeed an invention of Stoker's, and they found it comical that so fearful a threat would be foiled by a flavouring. Stoker likely used garlic because "rom ancient times garlic was believed to have supernatural powers" (Eighteen-Bisang &

Van Helsing states that the purpose of staking Lucy, beheading her, and filling her mouth with garlic is not to prevent Dracula from reviving her, but simply to "kill her in her sleep." (Seward's journal, 27 Sept, Ch. 15). The possibility of Dracula reviving her, or any other vampire, is never
