And helping us launch The Green Book 2 will be John Moore, who will be giving a talk on . . .
The Genesis and Publication of Dracula
We are pleased to welcome noted bibliographer John Moore, who will give a talk on the publication history of Dublin author Bram Stoker’s most famous work: Dracula. From its conception in the late 19th century and publication in 1897 to the myriad reprints and foreign translations that followed, Moore will trace the novel’s undying popularity into the 21st century. So please join us for discussion, drinks, a raffle, and what will certainly be a memorable evening. Hope to see you there!
We’ll do our best to accommodate, but seating will please arrive early.
