    Extractions: The Vampire di John William Polidori, primizia della letteratura macabra inglese, si presenta come l’archetipo di ogni futuro vampiro, come un perfetto repertorio degli elementi tipici del racconto d’orrore. Il suo vampiro, però, non vive solitario in un castello tenebroso, anzi frequenta, come un gentiluomo alla moda, i salotti londinesi: gioca d’azzardo e seduce belle dame… Tuttavia l’originalità maggiore di questa creatura letteraria sta nella movimentata storia della sua pubblicazione, fatta di smentite e di attribuzioni contestate. Lord Ruthven, il vampiro-dandy di Polidori, non poté infatti contare su una vita editoriale tranquilla (ma come pretenderlo dal Trasgressore per eccellenza?): apparso nel 1819 sul “New Monthly Magazine” sotto il nome di George Byron, per un malinteso del direttore della rivista, questo racconto, di rapido successo in Inghilterra e nel continente, suscitò subito polemiche e schermaglie su chi fosse veramente l’autore. Lo stesso Goethe dichiarò la macabra novella la miglior cosa che Byron avesse scritto.

    Extractions: M édico y escritor inglés nacido en Londres. Hijo de un patriota italiano, en 1815 se graduó en Medicina por la Universidad de Edimburgo. A partir de 1816 fue médico y secretario personal del poeta Lord Byron. Ese año le acompaño en un viaje por toda Europa. En una noche de 1816, recluidos por una tormenta en Villa Diodati, al lado del lago Leman, en Ginebra, Lord Byron, Polidori, Percy Shelley y su flamante esposa Mary, pasaron la noche leyendo historias de fantasmas y propusieron escribir sus propias historias. Mary Shelley y Polidori llevaron a cabo el desafío. Aquella escribió Frankenstein, este escribió El vampiro (1819), un cuento cuya importancia radica en la creación de la imagen prototípica del vampiro. Su personaje principal Lord Ruthven, aristocrático, sofisticado, misterioso, frío, encantador para las mujeres y bebedor de sangre, se pasea por los círculos más selectos. No hace falta ser muy sagaz para descubrir que el siniestro, flaco y pálido Lord Ruthven no es otra cosa que un retrato despiadado de Lord Byron. El que eligiera la figura de un vampiro para descargar su reprimida animadversión hacia el poeta, sugiere que era así como Polidori vivía inconscientemente esa relación: con su personalidad vampirizada por la del otro. Despedido por Byron y después de escribir un poema ambicioso, La caída de los ángeles (1821), murió en circunstancias misteriosas, probablemente por un veneno que él mismo se suministró.

    Extractions: John William Polidori (1795-1821) is one of the most tragic figures in the literary world. He was in the position to become one of the most influential writers of the Romantic period, and his writing could have launched him into eternal fame and immortality. Instead, through the malice of Lord Byron and his followers, his name has been all but obliterated. Phantasmagoriana, a collection of horror tales, Byron suggested that they each write a ghost story. Mary Godwin worked on a tale that would later evolve into Frankenstein (some of the medical and scientific ideas for Mary's novel were undoubtedly discussed with Polidori, though in her 1831 Introduction, she plays down the role of "poor Polidori"), Byron wrote (and quickly abandoned) a fragment of a story, whereas Polidori is remembered as having come up with a story about a skull-headed woman. However, Polidori, having taken detailed notes during the trip, used Byron's abandoned story as inspiration for his own tale: "The Vampyre - A Tale". Drawing on real-life vampire cases that had occurred only a century before in Europe, as well as on Byron's discarded fragment - although the mysterious character in Byron's piece was named Darvell - Polidori renamed his vampiric character "Lord Ruthven" as a snide in-joke: the name was originally used by Lady Caroline Lamb in her novel

    Extractions: John William Polidori’s “The Vampyre” represents yet another sexual fear in Victorian culture: the fear of the ruin of a young girl. At a time when marriage held great promise for the future for young people, and sexual repression was key, many people feared that their daughters or sister would be ruined by a man who would seduce them and then leave them. After an event like this, it was impossible for a girl to attain a marriage, and generally the only option for a girl like this was prostitution. The vampire Lord Strongmore is the representation of this fear. Her enters into London society and many of the girls desire his attention. After he leaves, the ones that he sought after revealed their sexuality to society, making them outcasts. In Italy, Aubrey discovers that Strongmore plans to ruin her supposed lover, and warns her family before leaving in disgust and fear. It is upon his return to London, however, that his fears about Strongmore are confirmed beyond a shadow of doubt. After a long illness that sets in when he sees Strongmore again, he learns that his sister is engaged to be married to Strongmore.

    Extractions: Donner votre avis sur ce livre Longtemps attribué à lord Byron, cette nouvelle de Polidori met en scène un aristocrate, lord Ruthwen qui vampirise son entourage. On n’évoque que partiellement les techniques utilisées par cet énigmatique personnage. En fait, il utilise son pouvoir de séduction pour entrer dans les cercles fermés des riches familles anglaises et européennes. On sait que la désolation s’abat sur ces familles après son passage. On le suit dans ses aventures à travers le regard du jeune Aubrey, un anglais qui accompagnera en voyage lord Ruthwen, voyage qui les mèneront à Rome et à Athènes. Naturellement, l’attachement que lord Ruthwen aura pour le jeune Aubrey ne sera pas innocent. Certains critiques disent que ce texte peint de manière métaphorique l’ami de Polidori, lord Byron. En fait, le vampirisme dont est atteint lord Ruthwen ne ressemble pas tellement à ce qu’on est habitué de retrouver chez un vampire comme Dracula et ses descendants. On lui attribue un certain carnage dans les alentours de Rome, mais ce sont surtout des ruines d’ empires monétaires qu’il sème dans son sillon. Il suce bien plus la richesse que le sang de ses victimes ; quoiqu’on mentionne à la fin de la nouvelle la disparition tragique de la sœur d’Aubrey dont «le sang de son infortunée compagne avait assouvi la soif d’un vampire».

    http://www.unicorngarden.com/polidor.htm
    
    Extractions: Most people have heard of how Mary Shelley was moved to write Frankenstein by the tedium of a rain-soaked holiday in Switzerland in 1816. Her own preface tells how as Shelley’s teenage mistress she, Shelley and Byron passed time at the Villa Diodati by spooking each other with French and German horror stories. Then they each decided to write their own, of which hers was the only one to reach print. Less well known is that the same holiday effectively gave birth to the vampire in fiction. Byron’s unfinished idea was taken up by John Polidori, his doctor and fellow debauchee who was also on the holiday. Polidori’s novella The Vampyre appeared three years later, first in instalments in Colburn’s New Monthly Magazine and later as a complete volume on its own. Rather surprisingly, given the popularity of both vampires and Gothic fiction at the time, it appears to be the first real vampire story in prose and it was an immediate and roaring success. John William Polidori Due to a misunderstanding the book was at first attributed to Byron, prompting the great Goethe to declare it his finest piece of writing. When the truth emerged, it sadly plummeted out of favour, in Britain at least, leading to Polidori's likely suicide; or at least the reckless abuse of drugs that killed him at the age of twenty six.
