Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish novelist. Born in Dublin Stoker suffered from an unknown illness as a young boy before entering school at the age of seven. He would later remark that the time he spent bedridden enabled him to cultivate his imagination contributing to his later success as a writer. He attended Trinity College Dublin from 1864 graduating with a BA before returning to obtain an MA in 1875. After university he worked as a theatre critic writing a positive review of acclaimed Victorian actor Henry Irvings production of Hamlet that would spark a lifelong friendship and working relationship between them. In 1878 Stoker married Florence Balcombe before moving to London where he would work for the next 27 years as business manager of Irvings influential Lyceum Theatre. Between his work in London and travels abroad with Irving Stoker befriended such artists as Oscar Wilde Walt Whitman Hall Caine James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In 1895 having published several works of fiction and nonfiction Stoker began writing his masterpiece Dracula (1897) while vacationing at the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel in Cruden Bay Scotland. Stoker continued to write fiction for the rest of his life achieving moderate success as a novelist. Known more for his association with London theatre during his life his reputation as an artist has grown since his death aided in part by film and television adaptations of Dracula the enduring popularity of the horror genre and abundant interest in his work from readers and scholars around the world.
