Résumé

Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read. This Quick Read edition includes both the full text and a summary for each chapter. - Reading time of the complete text: about 8 hours - Reading time of the summarized text: 20 minutes "The Blood of the Vampire" is a Gothic novel by Florence Marryat, published in 1897, featuring the protagonist Harriet Brandt, a mixed-race psychic vampire.
The story follows Harriet's struggles to integrate into Victorian society after leaving a Jamaican convent for Europe. The novel received mixed contemporary reviews but has gained critical attention since the end of the twentieth century. It is considered a non-traditional Gothic text, as it does not fit the typical supernatural or horrifying elements. The novel's treatment of race, eugenics, and social class has been a subject of academic interest.
Harriet's mixed-race background is associated with her vampirism, reflecting Victorian fears about "pollution of the blood." The story also intertwines gender and sexuality with race, and it is often compared to other Gothic vampire novels like "Dracula" and "Carmilla." The deaths of the main vampires in these novels are linked to medical intervention, reflecting Victorian anxieties about race and multiculturalism.
Overall, "The Blood of the Vampire" is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of race, gender, and Gothic themes in the late nineteenth century.
