Zusammenfassung:"Tranfusion examines the medical discourse that surrounded the real nineteenth-century practice of human-to-human blood transfusion alongside literary works that exploited the operation's sentimental, satirical, sensational, and gothic potentials. This study explores transfusion's role in now-canonical works such as H.G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau and Bram Stoker's Dracula as well as in an array of lesser-known short stories and novels."--
