A propos de cet article

Paperback. Vampires and Vampirism (1914) is a work from another era, a time when belief and wonder led some to travel down pathways of knowledge in search of truth and terror, not knowing what they would find.Written in response to an awakened [popular] interest in supernormal phenomena in the early twentieth century, Dudley Wrights Vampires and Vampirism traces the history of vampirism around the world, from ancient Babylonia, Assyria, and Greece, to Great Britain, Germany, and Eastern Europe. Beginning with the question What is a vampire?, Wright seeks to first define the term before moving into an analysis of how belief in vampirism emerged from various and distant religious and cultural traditions. Each chapter uses a scholarly mix of ancient and modern sources to enlighten the reader, and the book culminates in a chapter titled Fact or Fiction?, which allows the reader to hear from believers and skeptics alike. The book includes harrowing personal accounts of outbreaks of vampirism in British India and Mexico, as well as a lengthy bibliography.In a world where matters of occult nature, such as astrology, have reentered the popular consciousness, Vampires and Vampirism is sure to be of interest. It is also a fascinating document of a time when Europeansfaced with spiritual doubt and inspired by religious traditions and myths from the outer reaches of empiresought to establish new systems of belief, new orders they hoped could replace those they feared were quickly becoming lost.At times despicable, and always controversial, Dudley Wright was a tireless searcher whose life included conversions to Islam and Catholicism, forays into anti-Semitismlater retractedand a deep, spiritual involvement with organizations dedicated to matters both visible and invisible, true and beyond belief.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Dudley Wrights Vampires and Vampirism is a classic of history and horror reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
