Blood Will Tell: Vampires as Political Metaphors Before World War I By Sara Libby Robinson ISBN 978-1-934843-61-1 (cloth) $59.00 / £54.50 250 pp, April 2011 Topic Areas: Literary Criticism; European Studies Level: Academic (Undergraduate and Graduate) and General Reader Summary: Blood Will Tell explores the ways in which writers, thinkers, and politicians used blood and vampire-related imagery to express social and cultural anxieties in the decades leading up to the First World War. Covering a wide variety of topics, including science, citizenship, gender, and anti-Semitism, Robinson demonstrates the ways in which rhetoric tied to blood and vampires permeated political discourse and transcended the disparate cultures of Great Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, forming a cohesive political and cultural metaphor. An excellent resource, both for students of nineteenth century cultural history and for those interested in the historical roots of Western fascination with vampires. Author: Sara Libby Robinson received her PhD in Comparative History from Brandeis University. Her other publications include "Novel Anti-Semitisms: Vampiric Reflections of the Jew in Britain, 1875-1914," which appeared in Jewish Studies in Violence: A Collection of Essays (University Press of America, 2006). --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
