In 1884/85 Bram Stoker managed Henry Irving's American tour. He dined at the White House, he accompanied firemen on dangerous missions, he accompanied policemen on their rounds and saw the 'vice districts' of New York and Chicago. When he returned to London, Stoker was asked to give his impressions of America. His lecture is reprinted here, and he is a thoughtful and insightful observer. This volume also contains interviews with W.S. Gilbert, Arthur Conan Doyle and Winston Churchill.
This is a book for people who are interested in Stoker, and who want a more complete portrait of the famous novelist. It is a slender and expensive volume, but it allows readers to get a real sense of who Bram Stoker was: the theatre professional with a keen interest in stage lighting and acting styles, the journalist interested in social issues, the Irishman who is anxious to sing the praises of a Dublin fair and who writes elequently about home rule, the charming friend who writes graceful portraits of his Gilbert, Conan Doyle and Churchill.
This volume helps readers get a better sense of a gifted,compicated man.
