REFLECTIONS ON DRACULA is a collection of ten non-sequential essays

written by Elizabeth Miller (with the exception of one, co-authored by

Margaret L. Carter). The essays draw on Miller's broad experience as both

a scholar and an aficionado. Five focus on Stoker's novel, while the

others five examine questions of context and influence.
