Scholar, writer, actor. Bram Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland. A fan of the romantic movement in literature, Stoker corresponded with Walt Whitman and was a friend of Oscar Wilde. A dull life in civil service provided the inspiration necessary to produce such master works as the classic horror tale EM Dracula /EM (1897) and numerous collections of horror short stories. Against his family's wishes, in 1878, Stoker moved to London and took a position at actor-manager with Henry Irving's Lyceum Theatre. He continued to write until his death in 1912.
