“Dracula: Facts & Fictions” Spring Semester 2014 PROSPECTUS FOR 01:510:255 “Dracula: Facts & Fictions” Spring Semester 2014 CONTACT INFORMATION > Instructor: Stephen W. Reinert (Professor) > Meeting Times: M/TH, 2nd Period (9:50-11:10 AM) > Meeting Place: College Avenue Campus, Murray Hall, Room 212 > Instructor's Email: [email protected] > Instructor's Office: Van Dyck Hall, Room 218, College Avenue Campus > Office Hours: by arrangement, and always available by Skype THEMES & OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE Everyone's heard of "Dracula" and knows who he was (or is!), right? Well ... While it's true that "Dracula" — aka "Vlad III Dracula" and "Vlad the Impaler" — are household words throughout the planet, surprisingly few have any detailed comprehension of his life and times, or comprehend how and why this particular historical figure came to be the most celebrated vampire in history. Throughout this class we'll track those themes, and our guiding aims will be to understand: (1) "what exactly happened" in the course of Dracula's life, and three reigns as prince (voivod) of Wallachia (1448; 1456-62; 1476); (2) how serious historians can (and sometimes cannot!) uncover and interpret the life and career of "The Impaler" on the basis of surviving narratives, documents, pictures, and monuments; (3) how and why contemporaries of Vlad Dracula launched a project of vilifying his character and deeds, in the early decades of the printed book; (4) to what extent Vlad Dracula was known and remembered from the late 15th century down to the 1890s, when Bram Stoker was writing his famous novel ultimately entitled Dracula; (5) how, and with what sources, Stoker constructed his version of Dracula, and why this image became and remains the standard popular notion of Dracula throughout the world; (6) how modern historians developed a credible reconstruction of Vlad III's life and career, from the 19th century to the present; (7) how Dracula evolved as an icon of 20th century popular culture, particularly in the media of film and the novel. Such will be the key ingredients for this Spring 2014 course, and at the end you'll hopefully have learned basic techniques for dissecting famous historical images, sifting and evaluating historical evidence, and establishing the difference between "historical facts" and "inspired fictions." You'll also have developed a sound beginning understanding of the dynamics of Balkan and early Ottoman political and military history, at the dawn of the early modern period. And, best of all, you'll be able to discourse about Dracula with such sophistication ... you'll be the dazzling star of any Halloween party! CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE & OTHER EXPECTATIONS This is not an online course. You must plan on coming to class and interacting with both the professor and fellow students. It’s a great, time-honored learning technique! Students should be in their seats at the time the class begins and should remain there until the class is over. Laptop computers are permitted only for the purpose of taking notes and discussing assigned readings; other electronic devices may not be used in the classroom. Cheating on tests or plagiarizing materials in any assigned work is unacceptable academic behavior and will be treated as the serious offenses they are. BOOKS & READINGS Many of the assigned readings and study resources will be provided in PDF files on a Sakai site for the course. Students will need to access the following works, hard copies of which are available at the Rutgers University Bookstore (Barnes & Noble): > Bruce A. McClelland, Slayers and their Vampires: A Cultural History of Killing the Dead (2006). ISBN 0-472-06923-3. > Raymond T. McNally and Radu Florescu, In Search of Dracula: The History of Dracula and Vampires, rev. ed. (1994). ISBN 0-395-65783-0. > David Skal, Hollywood Gothic, rev. ed. (2004). ISBN 0-571-21158-5. Kindle edition available. > Stoker, Bram, Dracula, Edited with an introduction and notes by Maurice Hindle, Preface by Christopher Frayling, revised edition (2003). ISBN 978- 0141439846. Kindle edition available. > Kostova, Elizabeth, The Historian: A Novel (2005). ISBN 0-316-07063- 7. Kindle edition available. STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE In terms of teaching/learning format, this course will combine lecture, discussions of assigned readings, viewing of selected films with follow-up analysis, and small group projects and presentations. In terms of content, we will proceed through the following key themes or "modules" in our classroom meetings: Module 1: Images of Dracula & Overview of His Career Module 2: Career of Dracula's Father, Vlad II Dracul, ca. 1395-1447 Module 3: Career of Vlad III Dracula, 1448-1462 Module 4: The Demonization of Dracula & His Final Reign, 1462-76 Module 5: Vlad the Vampire?

  • Bram Stoker's Vampire Trap : Vlad the Impaler and His Nameless Double
    BRAM STOKER’S VAMPIRE TRAP VLAD THE IMPALER AND HIS NAMELEss DOUBLE BY HANS CORNEEL DE ROOS, MA MUNICH EMAIL: [email protected] HOMEPAGE: WWW.HANSDEROOS.COM PUBLISHED BY LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY ELECTRONIC PREss S-581 83 LINKÖPING, SWEDEN IN THE SERIES: LINKÖPING ELECTRONIC ARTICLES IN COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE SERIES EDITOR: PROF. ERIK SANDEWALL AbsTRACT Since Bacil Kirtley in 1958 proposed that Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, the best known literary character ever, shared his historical past with the Wallachian Voivode Vlad III Dracula, an intense debate about this connection has developed and other candidates have been suggested, like the Hungarian General János Hunyadi – a proposal resurfacing in the most recent annotated Dracula edition by Leslie Klinger (2008). By close-reading Stoker’s sources, his research notes and the novel, I will demonstrate that Stoker’s narrative initially links his Count to the person of Vlad III indeed, not Hunyadi, although the novelist neither knew the ruler’s first name, nor his father’s name, nor his epithet “the Impaler”, nor the cruelties attributed to him. Still – or maybe for this very reason – Stoker did not wish to uphold this traceable identity: In Chapter 25, shortly before the decisive chase, he removes this link again, by way of silent substitution, cloaked by Professor van Helsing’s clownish distractions. Like the Vampire Lord Ruthven, disappearing through the “vampire trap” constructed by James R. Planché for his play The Brides of the Isles in the English Opera House, later renamed to Lyceum Theatre and run by Stoker, the historical Voivode Vlad III Dracula is suddenly removed from the stage: In the final chapters, the Vampire Hunters pursue a nameless double.

  • Unseen Horrors: the Unmade Films of Hammer
    Unseen Horrors: The Unmade Films of Hammer Thesis submitted by Kieran Foster In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2019 Abstract This doctoral thesis is an industrial study of Hammer Film Productions, focusing specifically on the period of 1955-2000, and foregrounding the company’s unmade projects as primary case studies throughout. It represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily utilise unmade projects. The study uses these projects to examine the evolving production strategies of Hammer throughout this period, and to demonstrate the methodological benefits of utilising unmade case studies in production histories. Chapter 1 introduces the study, and sets out the scope, context and structure of the work. Chapter 2 reviews the relevant literature, considering unmade films relation to studies in adaptation, screenwriting, directing and producing, as well as existing works on Hammer Films. Chapter 3 begins the chronological study of Hammer, with the company attempting to capitalise on recent successes in the mid-1950s with three ambitious projects that ultimately failed to make it into production – Milton Subotsky’s Frankenstein, the would-be television series Tales of Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s The Night Creatures. Chapter 4 examines Hammer’s attempt to revitalise one of its most reliable franchises – Dracula, in response to declining American interest in the company. Notably, with a project entitled Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Chapter 5 examines the unmade project Nessie, and how it demonstrates Hammer’s shift in production strategy in the late 1970s, as it moved away from a reliance on American finance and towards a more internationalised, piece-meal approach to funding.

  • Route Through Transylvania, Tailormade by Car 17/01
    Romania: Route through Transylvania, tailor­made by car The Carpathians in Romania, much more than haunting castles, mist­shrouded mountains and the legendary Count Dracula Surrounded by the Carpathian mountain range, Transylvania covers the central part of Romania and is one of the best­known regions outside the country. Much of this is due to the famous vampire Count Dracula, the literary character created by Bram Stoker and inspired by Vlad the Impaler. Thanks to this fascinating road trip, you can follow in the footsteps of the Romanian prince infamous for cruelly impaling his enemies and even explore the ruins of his former fortress, Poenari Castle. You can also visit the perfectly preserved Bran Castle, the bastion chosen by the communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu to locate the residence of Vlad the Impaler and the imaginary vampire Count in an attempt to draw in more tourism to Romania. Or the house where he spent his formative years of life in Sighisoara and which was owned by his father, Vlad II Dracul. Yet despite being firmly placed on the tourist map, Transylvania offers visitors many other attractions than everything surrounding the immortal Dracula. In fact, this region has been controlled by the Dacians, the Romans, the Hungarians, the Transylvanian Saxons and the Ottomans, who all left behind a spectacular multicultural heritage that is very much alive today. Transylvania, translated from its Latin name as 'the land beyond the forest', is actually called Ardeal in Romanian, Erdély in Hungarian and Siebenbürgen in German. In Romania, you'll be enchanted by the beauty of its mountainous landscapes, its lush forests and its architectural heritage that includes iconic buildings such as the communist­era Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest; the Biserica Neagra in Brasov, the largest Gothic­style church in Romania and Southeast Europe; the Citadel of Rasnov; the famous fortified churches of Prejmer and Harman; and the Cathedral of Curtea de Arges, among many other exceptional tourist attractions.

  • The Use of History in Dracula Tourism in Romania
    doi:10.7592/FEJF2014.57.hovi THE USE OF HISTORY IN DRACULA TOURISM IN ROMANIA Tuomas Hovi Abstract: Dracula tourism in Romania combines fiction with history. It is centred on either the fictional Western vampire Count Dracula or the historical Dracula, the fifteenth-century Romanian ruler Vlad the Impaler. These two characters are also often conflated, or sometimes even forged together, into one Dracula figure in Dracula tourism. Besides the history concerning the ruler, Vlad the Impaler, through Dracula tourism the guides and travel agencies also tend to offer much more history and tradition of Romania in their tours. In this article I will exam- ine what kind of history is told and what is left out. I am especially interested in the history and tradition (as it is manipulated) that is not connected to Vlad or Dracula. I look at the types and eras of history used and emphasised in Dracula tourism in Romania, and the reasons for the choices. I am also interested in the idea of how the seemingly superficial and fictitious Dracula tourism can be used as a gateway into Romanian history and culture. Keywords: Dracula tourism, local heritage, Romania, the use of history, tour narrations, tradition Dracula tourism in Romania is an interesting combination of history, tradi- tion and fiction. In Dracula tourism tourists visit locations connected to the historical Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, the ones described in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, and some other locations in Romania that the different tourist agen- cies want to show to the tourists. There are many foreign and domestic tourist agencies that offer different kinds of Dracula-themed tours around Romania.

Page 7 Characters of DRACULA Page 8 Vampires Behavior & Rules Page 9 Glossary & Themes Page 11 Designs for the Production Page 16 Sources Page 17 Notes on DRACULA by Dramaturturg Julieta Vitullo, PhD There are infinite entry points to Dracula because vampires provide such a rich myth, without a doubt one of the most powerful and prevalent myths in modern literature and film, but also one that ties back to much older stories and very primal fears ingrained in human consciousness, with a tradition that is even older than Bram Stoker’s novel. Published in 1897, Stoker’s Dracula has been in print ever since. Bram Stoker was born in Ireland and raised in an Anglo-Irish tradition. He experienced the transition from a traditional (Victorian) world to a modern one. The novel was written while scientific and technological discoveries were speeding up the belief in progress, and changing social norms challenged the traditional ways. It is interesting to note this context as Stoker’s Dracula explores themes of science, re- ligion, the role of women in society, and ideas about romance and sexuality. I think Steven Dietz’s play adaptation picks up on something that is present in the novel, which is that the female character of Mina is intellectually sophisticated and can often outsmart the men, especially her husband. At the same time, there’s a force that fights against that kind of social progress, which is the force of the past, where superstitions rule and wolves lurk in the shadows of civilization, not bound to morality, only to survival.

  • His Father, Vlad II Dracul, Was a Member of the Order of the Dragon That Was Founded to Protect Christianity in Eastern Europe
    Vlad III Tepes Dracula Vlad III Tepes Dracula was born in 1431, in Wallachia (a region in Romania). His father, Vlad II Dracul, was a member of the Order of the Dragon that was founded to protect Christianity in Eastern Europe. That's why Vlad was named Dracula which means "Son of the Dragon" in Romanian. His father wanted to have peace with the Turks, so he sent Vlad as a hostage when he was only 11 years old. Five years later, Vlad was freed but he had suffered a lot in the Turkish prisons. No wonder Vlad hated the Turks! Aged 25, he became Prince of Wallachia. When he was at war against his enemies, the Turks, he quickly became famous as a tyrant because he took sadistic pleasure in torturing and killing. His practice of impaling his enemies is central to his historical reputation. As a result he was nic hundred thousand people! In 1462, Vlad went to Transylvania (another Romanian region) in order to seek help from the King of Hungary who had him imprisoned. Consequently he was held in captivity from 1463 to 1475. He died two years later, decapitated by the Turks who wanted proof that the Impaler was dead. He was indeed dead, but that was the beginning of the legend... Reading comprehension A.
