Beschreibung
"In all the darkest pages of the malign supernatural there is no more terrible tradition than that of the Vampire, a pariah even among demons. The tradition is world wide and of dateless antiquity. I have endeavoured to set forth what might be termed 'the philosophy of vampirism' and however ghastly and macabre they may appear I have felt that here one must not tamely shrink from a careful and detailed consideration of the many cognate passions and congruous circumstances which have throughout the ages played a very vital and memorable part in consolidating the vampire legend, and in perpetuating the vampire tradition among the darker and more secret mysteries of belief that prevail in the heart of man." - Introduction. Chapters include: Origins of the Vampire; Generation of the Vampire; The Vampire in Assyria, the East, and some Ancient Contries; The Vampire in Literature. xvi, 356 pp. Bibliography. Index. Footnotes. Eight black and white plates. Faint erasure atop front free endpaper and trifle of writing in index otherwise unmarked with average wear. Binding intact. Moderate general foxing, most notable near front. No dust jacket. A sound example of this detailed and fascinating study. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 441j1206
