Polidori expanded a draft of Lord Byron into his story "The Vampyre".<br />
With this novel, the first vampire story in world literature was<br />
created. The main character of the novel is Lord Ruthven, who embodies<br />
a modern vampire.<br />
The story was published on April 1, 1819 without Polidori's permission.<br />
Due to an error, Lord Byron appeared as the author. This confusion<br />
was intended by both Byron and Polidori. Both refused to<br />
accept a fee for the novel.<br />
The fact that Lord Byron was named as the author made the story<br />
very successful.<br />
Polidori's figure of an elegant vampire was groundbreaking for practically<br />
all of the following novels of this type.<br />
THE VAMPYRE<br />
JOHN WILLIAM POLIDORI<br />
DER_VAMPYR<br />
Polidori transformed the wild beast that<br />
caused his mischief among the people into an<br />
educated member of the aristocracy.<br />
