This volume contains a collection of diary entries written by Dr. John
William Polidori. They were penned while he accompanied Lord Byron as
his personal physician. It contains interesting and insightful anecdotes
of the experiences that they had while travelling through Europe, and it
will be of considerable utility to anyone with an interest in the
seminal romantic poet. The chapters of this volume include: "Ghent",
"The Diary of Polidora", "Antwerp", "Brussels", "Waterloo", "Chateau du
Lac", "Battice", "St. Juliers", "Cologne", "The Rhine", "Coblentz",
"Mayence", "Carlsruhe", "Jura Mountains", etcetera. John William
Polidori (1795 - 1824) was an English writer and physician. He is famous
for his association with the Romantic Movement, and is credited as the
originator of the 'vampire genre' in fiction. Many vintage texts such as
this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind
that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality,
modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned
biography of the author.
