Reviews
“Fans have turned Austen’s novels into a Gothic playground, as Eric Parisot puts it, but it’s Parisot himself who breathes new life into unearthing their common ground in this persuasive, blood-soaked book. Jane Austen and Vampires brilliantly explains not only why today’s paranormal mashups have emerged but how they’ve enlarged the novelist’s genius.” (Devoney Looser, Regents Professor of English, Arizona State University)
“In this engaging study, Parisot delves into the world of Austen-themed vampire fiction to explore what it reveals about Austen’s own undying cultural significance. Examining novels in which Austen’s characters, and sometimes Austen herself, are reimagined as vampires, he deftly draws out the underlying historical and symbolic logic that make such combinations far less unlikely than they might initially seem!” (Joseph Crawford, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, University of Exeter)
