Poor Polidori: A Critical Biography of the Author of The VampyreUniversity of Toronto Press, 1991 - 333 Macdonald offers a look at the Romantic period framed around the life of Polidori, doctor, novelist, and student of religion, the law, politics, and philosophy. He explains how Polidori fashioned his vampire after his employer, Lord Byron--the aristocrat, traveller, and seducer--a version that differs greatly from the vampire of folklore.
