i read a neat research paper once about how a lot of Dracula was based on stoker's brother and contemporary worries about vivisection (e.g.: "wow, what the fuck")
ah, this is vesalius. you know Brown has a copy of de humani corporis fabrica bound in some convict's skin? and supposed "he delighted in clutching every organ, too, even crushing them between his fingers to see what oozed out"
i have read things on how Dracula was a response to:
1. Oscar Wilde
2. The Theory of Evolution
3. Capitalism
4. Psychiatry
i mean, yes, but thornley stoker was chief vivisection inspector of ireland and campaigned a lot on the subject, and dracula does do spoooooky experiments, so i thought it was a pretty good idea
