Vampire Women in Romantic Literature by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The figure of the vampire woman developed in European romantic literature as a representation of the seduction of evil and darkness, gathering characteristics of the myth of the dangerous woman. Although the first stories of vampiresses originated in 19th-century Gothic novels, this female archetype can be traced throughout mythology and literature since antiquity, taking its definitive form in the tale "Carmilla" by LeFanu.
