Description
In “The Jewel of Seven Stars,” Bram Stoker brings to life another classic Victorian horror tale about an Egyptian queen who won’t stop at anything to be reborn. Fascination—one might even say obsession—with Egypt grew fast at the time: expeditions, excavations, collectors acquiring countless artifacts. Dark stories about mummies, pharaohs, and curses appeared in huge numbers both in penny dreadfuls and in “serious” literature.
Stoker wrote this novel six years after “Dracula” was published. And it was among the first stories about the resurrection of an ancient Egyptian mummy. The novel explores themes of imperialism, the “New Woman,” feminism, and technological progress.
