Quotes John William Polidori John William Polidori September 7 August 24 ) is credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre of fantasy fiction. Polidori, the son of an Italian political émigré, was one of the first pupils at Ampleforth College. He began his schooling in shortly after the monks, in exile from France , settled in the lodge of Anne Fairfax's chaplain in the Ampleforth Valley. He went on from Ampleforth in to Edinburgh University , where he qualified as a doctor, and in entered Lord Byron's service as his personal physician. In 1816, Doctor Polidori accompanied Byron on a trip through Europe. In Geneva Switzerland , the pair met with Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley , and their companion Clair Clairmont. One night in June, after the company had read aloud from a collection of horror tales, Byron suggested that they each write a ghost story. Mary Shelley worked on a tale that would later evolve into Frankenstein . Byron wrote (and quickly abandoned) a fragment of a story, which Polidori used later as inspiration for his own tale. Rather than use the crude, bestial vampire of folklore as a basis for his story, Polidori based his character on Byron. Polidori named the character "Lord Ruthven" as a joke. The name was originally used in Lady Caroline Lamb 's novel Glenarvon , in which a thinly-disguised Byron figure was also named Lord Ruthven. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was not only the first vampire in English fiction, but was the first fictional vampire in the form we recognize today-an aristocratic fiend who preyed among high society.

He desired his sister's guardians might be called, and when the midnight hour had struck, he related composedly what the reader has perused he died immediately after. The guardians hastened to protect Miss Aubrey; but when they arrived, it was too late. Lord Ruthven had disappeared, and Aubrey's sister had glutted the thirst of a VAMPYRE!

In fact, Polidori's place in literary history rests almost entirely on his relationship with Byron and his composition - some, unfairly, would say plagiarism - of " The Vampyre ," a story whose aristocratic title character inspired such later revenants as Varney, Carmilla , Dracula, and Lestat John Polidori was the son of Gaetano Polidori, an Italian expatriate, and an English mother. Gaetano Polidori taught Italian and translated English works into that language for the benefit of fellow Italians settling in England to escape the wars then ravaging the Continent. John Polidori's sister, Charlotte Lydia, was the mother of painter Gabriel Dante Rossetti and the poet Christina Rosetti Polidori was one of the first students at the Benedictine Ampleforth College. At nineteen he became the youngest student ever to receive a medical doctorate at the University of Edinburgh for his dissertation

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 mènera à Rome et à Athènes. Naturellement, l’attachement de lord Ruthwen pour le jeune Aubrey ne sera pas innocent. Un autre texte fondateur du genre à ne pas oublier.

Era la prima opera letteraria che trattava un tema appartenente alla tradizione popolare dell'Europa dell'est, il vampiro: questo spiega sia il successo strepitoso del libro, sia lo stupore e la diffidenza iniziale degli ambienti letterari londinesi. Il libro continuò ad avere fortuna anche quando Lord Byron rivelò che in realtà "Il vampiro" era stato scritto dal suo segretario di 21 anni, John William Polidori, il quale si era ispirato ad un frammento dello stesso Byron. In Francia fu messo in scena, nel 1820, un adattamento teatrale dell'opera scritto da Charles Nodier. E' un libro a mio avviso non tanto semplice, "Il vampiro", perché in molti punti l'atmosfera diventa confusa ed astratta, richiedendo così una lettura un po' più attenta. Sicuramente affascina la figura di Lord Ruthven, misterioso, silenzioso, sguardo fisso e bei lineamenti. Nessuno sapeva da dove venisse né cosa volesse, nessuno capiva il perché del suo pallore e delle sue stranezze. Solo un giovane gentiluomo, Aubrey, riuscirà ad avvicinarlo, facendosi trascinare in un viaggio ai limiti dell'incomprensibile...

STORIE DI VAMPIRI- John POLIDORI: IL VAMPIRO di Cristina MARRA La fama dello scrittore inglese di origine italiana John William Polidori (1795-1821)  legata al suo fortunato racconto "The Vampire", (edizione italiana: Il Vampiro, Newton Ed.) il cui macabro protagonista, il Vampiro Principe delle Tenebre, ispirerˆ molta della produzione letteraria dell'800. Ma cosa spinse il giovane medico Polidori a fare di un vampiro il protagonista del suo racconto? La scelta dell'autore e la stesura del racconto, apparso per la prima sul "New Monthly Magazine nel 1819, sono alquanto singolari e risalgono al 1816. In quel periodo Polidori soggiornava a Villa Diodati sul lago di Ginevra insieme a Byron, Shelley e Mary Wollstonecraft. Durante una gara di scrittura che prevedeva la composizione di un racconto dell'orrore e in occasione della quale la futura shelley scrisse il suo "Frankenstein", Polidori elabor˜ il frammento di un'opera di Byron e cre˜ il personaggio di Ruthven, l'affascinante vampiro assassino delle sue amanti. Ruthven era anche il nome del protagonista del romanzo di Lady Caroline Lamb "Glenarvon", ispirato a Byron. Il vampiro di Polidori alto, pallido e tenebroso  un aristocratico e si allontana dall'orrenda figura del vampiro rozzo e ignorante delle leggende del tempo. Il personaggio di Lord Ruthven,  l'incarnazione satanica di Byron, col quale Polidori visse un rapporto ambiguo di amore-odio, interrotto per volontˆ dello stesso Byron. Ruthven  un uomo macabro e attraente che vaga di festa in festa attirando l'attenzione delle donne inevitabilmente' attratte dal suo apparente odio per il vizio'.
