Abstract

This paper explores the literary presence of the vampire figure in the works of two Romantics, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and The Giaour by Lord Gordon Byron by performing a contrastive analysis of the application of the undead and its specific usages in these poems. Further development of this character is examined in the most supreme representation of fin-de-siѐcle
novel on vampirism—Dracula by Bram Stoker. We dwell upon the endurance of the folkloric myth and probe into the qualities that these works bestow on the character. The aim of the paper is to draw a parallel between these dissimilar works, focusing on their disparities and commonalities in order to uncover the transformation of this mythical figure into the literature and film in the 21st century.
