19th Century Vampire Lit I'm Gonna Read

Because I've lost my mind.

Most of these texts were found with the aid of these two posts. I did not include any of the stories listed as "not technically about vampires," except for "Let Loose," because it concerns a specter seeking blood, and "Vampirismus," because it's called "Vampirismus."

A strikethrough indicates that I've already read the work. Bold text indicates that I cannot find an English translation, whether online or for purchase. If you know of English translations of any bolded titles, please let me know.

*"Dracula's Guest" was first published in 1914 but was written either concurrent to or before the writing of Dracula.

I'm going to be honest. When I began, I thought there were four nineteenth century vampire stories. Five if you count Dracula's Guest. I've made a huge mistake.

François Truffaut and Alfred Hitchcock in Hitchcock/Truffaut (Kent Jones, 2015)

Cast: Alfred Hitchcock, François Truffaut, Bob Balaban (voice), Wes Anderson, Olivier Assayas, Peter Bogdanovich, Arnaud Desplechin, David Fincher, James Gray, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Richard Linklater, Paul Schrader, Martin Scorsese. Screenplay: Kent Jones, Serge Toubiana. Cinematography: Nick Bentgen, Daniel Cowen, Eric Gautier, Mihai Malaimare Jr., Lisa Rinzler, Genta Tamaki. Film editing: Rachel Reichman. Music: Jeremiah Bornfield. 

I urge anyone who's interested in movies, and not just interested in Alfred Hitchcock or François Truffaut, to see the terrific documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut, beautifully put together by Kent Jones and Serge Toubiana. Although the focus is on Hitchcock, and to a lesser extent on Truffaut, the film constitutes an invaluable lesson on how to make a movie, particularly what a director does to grab hold of viewers and manipulate their thoughts and emotions. Hitchcock's techniques were unique, of course, derived from his own interests and obsessions as well as from his experience as someone who began his career directing silent movies, which taught him how to tell a story through images. But the comments in the film by contemporary filmmakers like Wes Anderson, David Fincher, and Richard Linklater on Hitchcock's techniques, particularly Martin Scorsese's analysis of Vertigo (Hitchcock, 1958), open a new perspective on their own works.

For the native country asks: 11, 12, 22~

(Thank you for providing me for a quick break in between essay writing! Love you)

11. favourite native writer/poet?

Oh boy. Do you have 4 hours? My favourite poem is "Il pleure dans mon cœur/ Comme il pleut sur la ville", but I appreciate more Paul Eluard's poems ("Sur mes refuges détruits / Sur mes phares écroulés / Sur les murs de mon ennui / J’écris ton nom / [...] Liberté").

In terms of narrative/prose writers... Oof. I have a BA in French Literature, AND I've been living mostly in libraries and bookshops since I was 5. So, um. I love French literature. The master writer of French kids of the 2000s is the regretted Pierre Bottero with his series "Ewilan" (a must read). Lately, as I am deep in essay writing about culture and stuff, I've been reading some Malraux, especially his 1966 speech that you can find here and that is absolutely amazing. Big fan of Alexandre Dumas and Théophile Gautier in the 19th century, Fred Vargas and Nancy Huston in the 21st, Eric Orsenna and Eric-Emmanuel Schmidt in the 20th... Don't have time to go in-depth too much right now, but anyone, do feel free to send me asks about French literature!

12. what do you think about English translations of your favourite native prose/poem?

Ooooh, bad, bad. I generally prefer original versions of what I'm reading, and if I don't know the language, I'm very careful to look up what bilingual people say about the translation. Some time ago, in one of my literature class, we were talking about a French text, I don't remember which one, and the prof showed us the original text and then a translation (in Spanish), and oooow, the translation completely lost the point of the text, none of the lyricality of it had been transposed. (I am a snob when it comes to languages and literatures, I am well aware of that) Other than that, I don't read translated French writings in English, so I don't have anything else to say.

22. what makes you proud about your country? what makes you ashamed?

*snorts in French* Let's start with ashamed because oh boy have you been following French news lately? Macron is an asshole, the gouvernement is full of idiots, thieves, criminals and racist pieces of shits, society still has a problem with its colonial past (hello racism, hello xenophobia), and it's paradoxically very proud of its culture while being almost illiterate, the pretentiousness of French people, the hypocrisy...

But it's also a beautiful country that has made and still makes amazing creations, has a long history of humanism and intellectualism, a history of hospitality and fiery defence of its people and its values (without any irony and knowing well how horrible it was, I would have loved to live through the Révolution in 1789). Good food, good bread, good pâtisserie. Excellent literature and music. Beautiful landscapes. I hate France as much as I love it, but I would not go back to live there even if you pay me.

Send me another not-US ask and I'll do the Moroccan version!

Philippe Gautier, Maire de Valentigney, a écrit à Marc Ferracci Ministre de l’Industrie et de l’Energie, avec copie à François Bayrou Premier Ministre et à Eric Lombard Ministre de l’Économie : "(...) Je me permets d'attirer votre attention sur la situation particulièrement préoccupante de l'entreprise F2J Japy, sous-traitant automobile historique et fleuron industriel implanté à Valentigney, dans le Pays de Montbéliard. Cette entreprise qui emploie encore 102 salariés, traverse une nouvelle crise d'importance, et cela est fortement inquiétant. En l'espace de huit ans, elle a dû engager six plans de sauvegarde de l'emploi, fragilisant son avenir ainsi que celui de ses salariés et de tout un territoire. Face à la transition écologique nécessaire mais qui peut sembler brutale à plusieurs égards, F2J Japy rencontre de grandes difficultés pour se diversifier, notamment avec l'arrêt programmé des moteurs thermiques d'ici 2035 et la concurrence étrangère accrue de plus en plus, souvent en provenance de pays aux normes environnementales et sociales bien moins exigeantes. Ce contexte met en lumière les défis structurels auxquels est confrontée l'industrie française pour s'adapter à ces mutations, qui manquent parfois, hélas, d'une anticipation suffisante. La situation dépasse le simple cas d'une entreprise, elle symbolise, encore une nouvelle fois la dégradation continue du tissu industriel national. Avec, à la clef, une menace quand un savoir-faire unique, essentiel au dynamisme économique d'une région. Région largement dépendante de l'industrie automobile, ce qu'il convient de souligner. Plus largement, elle reflète la désindustrialisation, toujours en cours qui pèsent sur l'ensemble de nos territoires et la « casse sociale » qui en découle, avec son cortège de drames familiaux. Monsieur le ministre, je vous sollicite pour que des mesures concrètes soient prises rapidement afin d'accompagner financièrement et stratégiquement la diversification de F2J Japy, en préservant son outil industriel et les emplois locaux. Dans de telles situations, l'expertise publique en matière d'Intelligence Economique peut se révéler déterminante. Les Ministères de l'Industrie, de l'Economie disposent des outils adéquats, il suffit de les activer. De plus, dans un cadre plus général, je souhaiterais savoir quelles actions le Gouvernement entend mener pour : - mieux anticiper les transitions industrielles, afin d'en limiter l'impact sur les entreprises françaises et leurs salariés, de facto à alimenter la spirale vertueuse d'une réactivation des compétences nationales - protéger nos entreprises des effets dévastateurs d'une concurrence internationale déloyale, en défendant des normes sociales et environnementales justes, en veillant à ce qu'elles soient appliquées à l'échelle internationale - soutenir les bassins d'emploi, encore largement marqués par la mono-industrie tel le Pays de Montbéliard, en favorisant la reconversion des salariés et l'implantation de nouvelles activités industrielles dans ces territoires, diversification dans des domaines tels que l'aéronautique, les énergies renouvelables, etc. Il est plus que jamais urgent de maintenir notre souveraineté industrielle, en veillant à ne pas sacrifier nos territoires ni les savoir-faire qui font la richesse de notre pays. Persuadé, de votre détermination, que je partage naturellement, de répondre à ces nombreux défis très complexes à prendre les décisions nécessaires pour protéger l'emploi et l'industrie française, je suis prêt à venir avec des parlementaires afin d'évoquer le champ des possibles vis-à-vis de telles configurations. Une duplication n'est ensuite pas à exclure au bénéfice d'autres bassins d'emploi hexagonaux. (...)". Read the full article

Oggi, grazie a gli amici di Hirtemis, scopriremo assieme The Vale of Eternity, un gioco da tavolo che riesce ad essere contemporaneamente estremamente accessibile ma anche molto strategico!

In The Vale of Eternity, ci metteremo a caccia di creature mitologiche, potremo decidere di vendere queste creature oppure domarle per tentare di sfruttare le loro capacità al fine di ottenere 60 punti o più punti degli altri giocatori alla vine di 10 turni! Un bordgame estremamente semplice nelle meccaniche ma che grazie all'intuizione di ridurre al minimo le pietre magiche (valuta del gioco) che possono avere i giocatori, il legare il numero delle creature che si possono evocare al turno in corso, due idee che rendendo stretto il board game costringono i giocatori a ragionare per bene su come impostare la propria strategia!

The Vale of Eternity è un board game da 2 a 4 giocatori, per una durata di 35/45 minuti, consigliato dai 10 anni in su creato da Eric Hong, con le illustrazioni di Jiahui Eva Gao, Gautier Maia, Stefano Martinuz, Erica Tormen, Jens Wiese, edito in italia da Asmodee, fornitomi dagli amici di Hirtemis!

Clean, Olivier Assayas (2004)

[lauralot89]

Because I am a masochist, I decided I wanted to read all the 19th century vampire literature. Currently I'm focusing on short stories and novels rather than plays.

I have read:

The Vampyre - John William Polidori

Varney the Vampire, or The Feast of Blood - James Malcolm Rymer

Dracula - Bram Stoker

Dracula's Guest - Bram Stoker

I have not yet read:

Fragment of Novel - Lord Byron

Lord Ruthwen; ou, Les Vampires/Lord Ruthwen of the Vampires - Charles Nodier

Vampirismus - E.T.A. Hoffman

La Morte Amoureuse/Clarimonde - Théophile Gautier

The Vampyre - Elizabeth F. Ellet

Spiritual Vampirism - Charles Wilkins Webber

Le Chevalier Ténèbre/Knightshade - Paul Féval

La Vampire/The Vampire Countess - Paul Féval

La Ville Vampire/Vampire City - Paul Féval

Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu

Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter - J. Sheridan Le Fanu

The Fate of Madame Cabanel - Eliza Lynn Linton

Ninety Years Later - Milovan Glišić

Manor - Karl Heinrich Ulrichs

A Mystery of the Campagna - Anne Crawford

Let Loose - Mary Cholmondeley

Le Captine Vampire/Captain Vampire - Marie Nizet

The True Story of a Vampire - Eric Stenbock

The Vampire - Alexei Tolstoy

The Family of the Vourdalak - Alexei Tolstoy

The Reunion After Three Hundred Years - Alexei Tolstoy

The Prayer - Violet Hunt

The Blood of the Vampire - Florence Marryat

The Vampire of the Val-de-Grace - Léon Gozlan

The Vampire and the Devil's Son - Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail

Wake Not the Dead - Ernest Rapauch

The Vampire of the Carpathian Mountains - Alexandre Dumas

The Pale Lady by Alexandre Dumas

Pepopukin in Corsica - Arthur Young

Good Lady Duncayne - Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Luella Miller - Mary E. Wilkins Freeman

The Skeleton Count, or The Vampire Mistress - Elizabeth Caroline Grey

The Virgin Vampire - Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon

The Phantom World - A.A. Calmet

Death and Burial: Vampires and Werewolves - Emily Gerard

And the Creature Came In - Augustus Hare

The Tomb of Sarah - F.G. Loring

And then there is this book which I don't even know if I can read, because I've yet to find an English translation and don't know if it even has one:

Der Vampyr – Novelle aus Bulgarien - Hans Wachenhusen

Are there any others I'm missing? Are any of those not actually vampire stories or not from the nineteenth century and I've been misled?

As to why the nineteenth century: I think if I tried to read all vampire stories EVER it would take the entire rest of my life and then some, and also early vampires are fascinating to me because all the standard tropes were not yet in effect.

As to why I'm doing this at all: Who even knows. I need things to distract my brain.

CLOSED! Preliminary Hot Vintage TV Men List

Alright folks! We have one week left on submissions for the Hot Vintage TV Men's Bracket! As promised here is a list of all the Hot Vintage TV Men who have been submitted and passed our preliminary eligibility checks. There are a handful of guys on this list and one or two not on it that we are currently still debating on so reminder that this list is not final and subject to change.

Currently we have 231 Hot Vintage TV Men!

Also in advance of the competition I'd like to remind anyone submitting propaganda for someone that starred in a show that aired only partially during our timeframe or was under 18 for a part of a shows filming, to please make sure you are only submitting propaganda that is from within our timeframe and when the actor was 18 years or older. This is also just good to keep in mind in general as several people submitted actors for shows that aren't eligible for our tournament either because it was outside our time period or in one case the actor was underaged for the entirety of the show (though many were eligible for other shows they were submitted for). We do our best to screen for these things but sometimes it's hard to tell or it’s a show we don't personally know well enough so we appreciate help from y'all letting us know if you do catch anything.

List below the cut

JOURNAL DE CREATION   /   OCTOBRE 2023

LE THEATRE TROUVE SES SOLUTIONS EXISTENTIELLES EN CULTIVANT LA PERTINENCE DE SES FORMES ARTISTIQUES ET L’HUMILITE DE SA PRESENCE PUBLIQUE

Nous approchons …

Celles et ceux qui viennent de s’engager en réservant leurs places dès à présent contribuent efficacement à l’économie de la réalisation. Ils sont aussi « des regards, des attentions « qui déjà donnent au projet en cours une belle concrétude. Nous sentons déjà leur présence. Ils et elles sont là . C’est déjà un instant de théâtre : des mots des images des acteurs des spectateurs.

Ils et elles nous donnent la joie de continuer.

UN TRES GRAND MERCI

Et CONTINUONS DE TRANSMETTRE LES INFORMATIONS RELATIVES A CE PROJET  …

SAMUEL BECKETT avait rendez- vous avec son époque et les spectateurs des années 70, 80, 90 l’ont dit avec force et enthousiasme.

Mais il a aussi rendez- vous avec NOTRE EPOQUE   qui peut le reconnaitre comme étant un de ses grands classiques mais aussi, par les idées qu’il transmet, un de SES CONTEMPORAINS. Son œuvre littéraire et théâtrale est de l’ordre de celles des moralistes. MONTAIGNE, PASCAL, DANTE, il se les tenait pour amis et compagnons de travail.

Bien sûr, il y a GODOT …mais tant d’autres œuvres importantes elles aussi.

PAS MOI   BERCEUSE   LE DEPEUPLEUR   font partie de ses œuvres essentielles – au niveau international.   Nous vous permettrons de les entendre du 8 au 12 NOVEMBRE.

Nous vous présenterons également d’autres œuvres, avec les actrices et acteurs de l’orléanais qui se sont associés au programme. Vous retrouverez CATHERINE GAUTIER, MANOUCHKA RECOCHE,  INGRID TEGYEY,  JEAN CHRISTOPHE COCHARD,  ERIC CENAT,  HUGO ZERMATI, JONATHAN WAITE …

Ils et elles lieront des textes de SAMUEL BECKETT : L’EXILE, L’IMAGE, LE BILLET DOUX DE LA SMERALDINA, SOUBRESAUTS.  Ils et elles vous feront rencontrer SAMUEL BECKETT, le résistant qu’il fut dès 1940, le traducteur qui engagea les traductions des poètes français, l’ami des peintres …

Je ne veux pas conclure ce JOURNAL DE CREATION/OCTOBRE 2023 sans remercier très sincèrement GERARD AUDAX et son THEATRE CLIN D’ŒIL. Il nous a proposé sa salle de répétitions au cours de ce mois et bien sûr cette aide comptera dans la réalisation du spectacle. Il participe également aux lectures du 12 Novembre (G.Audax lira l’IMAGE)   .  

Une pensée affectueuse également pour le psychanalyste PHILIPPE LEGRAND qui a mis son expérience professionnelle à notre disposition.

NOTRE PROCHAIN JOURNAL DE CREATION PARAITRA EN NOVEMBRE, QUELQUES JOURS AVANT LES PREMIERES REPRESENTATIONS.

 NOUS PENSONS A VOUS

Jacques LE NY
