The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori; the story was highly successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century.

what exactly could happen if he would brake the oath?? if you brake the oath of a dieing man...ok, something bad will come. But this was not common man, any oath in the world would be delited if that person never died, isn t that right?!

Very nice interpretation , beautiful voice ! Does exist any movie portraying Byron , Polidori and the Shelleys during those misty days when Polidori wrote The Vampire ?

The films called Gothic and Haunted Summer, both from the 1980s. Cheers

Didn't John William Polidori ever hear of a happy ending??? If not now, then very soon, I'll have to watch Dracula with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. The great ending of good victiring over evil will bolster me up. That was depressing as hell 😕 😪. Well written and well read/acted, though. You grace the morose tale with your gift of narration, Greg Wagland. Thank you 😊 💓

Excellent read, though I have to note [some spoilers below for anyone hearing this for the first time] ... either I am a vampire in some way myself ... or the thickness of our young Aubrey is such that I cannot find much in the way of sympathy for his predicament. I've found a treasure trove here though, thanks for all of these, and I think that they are more worthy of attention than many syndicated programmes which might be found today!

is this related to romanticism?? please answer
@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio6 жыл бұрын
Well, I ain't no scholar but I think romanticism does fit into Polidori and his chums down on Lac whatever it was. Thunderbolts and lightening, very very frightening - etc. Bonus ball Frankenstein. And general awe and majesty of nature. Wordsworth? Daffodils. Reconnection with something pagan in all of us, lost with all that religious mallarkey of the previous 500 years. When that in April with his showers sweet. General Prologue Chaucer. Getting back to the garden. Falafels. Humous. End result: Hippies, Haight Ashbury (spelling?), the Family Nurse, the screens...

Yes. Polidori and Byron were Romantics, two leading personnel of the Romantic movement in fact, especially Bryon . In fact, Polidori was also the uncle of the famous Rossettis.
@hughthetuber79904 жыл бұрын
Yes. It is a sort of romantic, gothic tale. Byron, Pollidori, and the Shelley's were at the forefront of writing gothic fiction/horror. :) romantic themes ran rampant in the genre.

Much prefer Mr Wagland's reply. And Mary Shelley was a naughty hippy
