Description

"The Man," a novel diverging from Bram Stoker's usual foray into the supernatural, instead delves into the complexities of love, gender roles, and societal expectations. The story follows Stephen Norman, a woman who inherits her father's vast estate and must navigate the challenges posed by her gender and position. Her life becomes intertwined with Harold An Wolf, whose love and respect for her defy the conventions of their time. As they confront external pressures and personal dilemmas, Stoker explores themes of identity, empowerment, and the transformative power of love against the backdrop of Victorian society.

Author

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) wrote Dracula and then had to live in its shadow. An Irishman in London, he kept Irving's theatre running by day and, by night, invented a vampire who travels by timetable and feeds on paperwork as much as blood. The novel is a collage of voices; the monster is organised. Later cinema gave him a look; Stoker gave him a method. Twenty titles sit here, most of them quieter than the one that named a genre.
