| Abstract | Dr John William Polidori’s short story ‘The Vampyre’ was first published in the April 1819 New Monthly Magazine and simultaneously as separate volume supplemented with three other texts. It is the first vampire tale published in English and was to have a huge influence, although its publication immediately precipitated a row about authorship that destroyed Polidori’s literary reputation. The first separately published version of The Vampyre has never been republished in its entirety as a scholarly edition. The four texts included are: • ‘Extract of a Letter from Geneva’, by Alaric Watts (derived from Polidori’s diary; first republished by myself in 2025); • ‘Introduction’, by Watts; • ‘The Vampyre’ by Polidori, edited by Watts (the edition will include Polidori’s corrections for a second edition, unpublished until 1994); and • ‘Extract of a Letter containing an account of Lord Byron’s Residence in the Island of Mitylene’, by John Mitford (a fictitious piece of cash-in Byroniana first published in the New Monthly 1818 and republished only in early nineteenth-century editions of The Vampyre). These four pieces will make up the volume. The reading text will be lightly modernized and regularized, with changes recorded in textual endnotes. |
