“[A] fine study. . . .Glover’s reading of Dracula is illuminating, opening as it does new historical contexts for understanding this much-analyzed novel.” — Stephen Arata, Victorian Studies
“Excellent. . . . Glover draws a compelling picture of the rich complexity (or confusion) of Stoker’s thought, and of the equally rich complexity of contemporary scientific discourse . . .” — William Galperin , Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
“Vampires, Mummies, and Liberals reveals Stoker as a writer caught between two ways of thought. . . . By far the best scholarly study of Stoker’s novels that I’ve encountered, the book is worth our attention because of its careful scholarship, insightful readings of the novels, ability to juggle a variety of texts from different disciplines, and bibliography. — Carol A. Senf , English Literature in Transition
“Excellent. In Vampires, Mummies, and Liberals Glover finally elaborates on the multiple and multiplying contradictions that emerge among the shifting political, racial, and sexual discourses with which Stoker’s works constantly intersect.” — David Lloyd, University of California, Berkeley
“Glover’s Stoker is far more interesting than the more typical sensationalized portraits of the author as vampire-wanna-be and more convincing than some of the fanciful and speculative interpretations of recent literary critics. Beautifully written, this is a study of considerable complexity and unfailing intelligence.” — Mary Poovey, Johns Hopkins University
