From her work as an undergraduate at the University of Nebraska to her nascent career as an author and journalist in the Northeast US, these selections chart Cather's growth into one of the Twentieth Century's leading voices.

To invoke a phrase that has been abused to the point of cliché, director Friedrich Murnau's primordial vampire film is the rare work that is exponentially more popular now than it was in its original release. Indeed, the film has emerged from obscurity to near-ubiquity over the intervening century,

Stoker drew on Imperial-era studies to lend his narrative verisimilitude, including material on history, folklore, and geography from all over the world. As the range of Orientalist studies grew going into the twentieth century, Dracula effectively became part of imperial discourse, both in its own portrayal of the exotic, dangerous East and for its association with the vampire motif that recurred in colonialist texts. This paper will examine the context of Dracula and vampiric tropes in imperialist rhetoric, focusing on the literature and ethnography of regions specifically cited in the novel. These include Britain's tropical colonies in Malaysia and India, as well as the Empire's sphere of influence in China. Special attention will be paid to the power relations inherent in the "imperial gaze," as well as European fears of reverse colonialism and, more acutely, the problems of mimetic desire and "going native."
