Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker, pseudonym of Abraham Stoker, was a writer and theater critic. He graduated with honors in Mathematics and Science. In 1876, he became the secretary and representative of the English actor Sir Henry Irving, with whom he managed the Lyceum Theatre in London. He remained Irving’s associate until the actor’s death in 1905.

Stoker wrote numerous books, including Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving (1906), but his masterpiece is Dracula (1897), in which he created the renowned character of the vampire—one that has endured through time and become a classic of its genre.
