At the same time, in Dracula the past extends across space into those zones of arrested development which modernity has not fully reached, where the train do not yet run on schedule or where the railway lines have come to an abrupt halt. Though no further from home than a rural Hampstead churchyard, it can be profoundly “humanising” to gaze upon the lights of London and to hear “the muffled roar the marks the life of a great city,” despite the knowledge that the capital is simultaneously a site of depravity and danger. For the routes of communication out of the metropolis may also bring terrifyingly archaic elements back into it, as in that eerie moment when Count Dracula is seen hailing a hansom cab near Hyde Park or when, in The Jewel of the Seven Stars (1903), the presence of an ancient Egyptian mummy in a house in Notting Hill begins to have strange effects upon everyone who comes into contact with it. Such frightful encounters are imagined as tests of character in Stoker’s supernatural romances, moments of truth that will purge the self of its secret weaknesses, ascertaining a person’s intrinsic worth in the face of a plethora of social and psychic complications and providing a center of stability in a dangerous world of flux. Hall Cain, the novelist and dedicatee of Dracula, once defended the genre of romance as a type of writing that shows “what brave things human nature is capable of at its best.” But in Stoker’s work, the protagonists are forced to confront their worst, before they can really know what their best might be.
