Inspired by Bram Stoker's innovative narrative forms and themes in Dracula—and in particular by Jonathan Harker's statement in his journal that he is witnessing the "nineteenth-century up-to-date with a vengeance"—this conference will explore the thoroughly modern forms of communication, technological development, and scientific discovery that emerged in the period.
