Tracing Dracula’s Footsteps: Bram Stoker in Liverpool
I read that Bram Stoker visited Liverpool multiple times. Is there any academic research on how those visits might have influenced him or his work on Dracula?

There is! The best place to start physically is the Bram Stoker Collection at the Liverpool Central Library. For scholarly work, check out Barbara Belford's biography Bram Stoker: A Biography, which details his life. For specific analysis of his Liverpool connections, look in journals like The Irish Studies Review or The Journal of Dracula Studies. Stoker traveled there frequently as the manager for actor Henry Irving's theatre company, and researchers have explored how the city's bustling port—a gateway to the world—might have seeped into the transatlantic, cosmopolitan dread of Dracula.
