Off The Map 2014 - Whitby
An introduction to the picturesque coastal town of Whitby, setting of Bram Stoker's classic Gothic novel 'Dracula', for participants in Off The Map 2014.
Off The Map is a unique collaboration, an exciting invitation, a new kind of student competition.
GameCity is very excited to be hosting the most creative and inspiring competition ever to involve a museum collection and gaming, in conjunction with the British Library and Crytek.
This year's Off The Map competition accompanies the British Library's forthcoming exhibition, Terror and Wonder: the Gothic Imagination. Curators from the British Library have selected maps, sounds, text, images, illustrations, and architectural plans, all with a suitably gothic theme.
Three themes have been chosen especially for the competition. The gothic splendour of Fonthill Abbey, Edgar Allen Poe's short story The Masque of the Red Death, and the seaside town of Whitby, which features in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Find out more about the Off The Map competition, download asset packs full of reference materials curated by the British Library, and read more about the chosen themes at:
Whitby Harbour Town and where 'DRACULA' was created by Bram Stoker, PART IX, MaY 25TH 2014
Description
A History of Whitby
Whitby is a popular seaside town on the North East coast of Yorkshire, famous around the world for its associations with Captain James Cook.
Eddie Caswell, whose acting roles include that of Whitby's harbourmaster in Heartbeat, takes us on a tour around the town and describes its fascinating history over the last 2000 years. Take a look inside a smoking shed, see some of the unique items inside the church, and find out how Victorians 'took the waters'.
To put 2000 years of history into less than an hour is an impossible task but we hope that this film will give you a flavour of what awaits today's visitor and serve as an introduction to its delights.

Bram Stoker's Dracula - Full Documentary
Abraham Bram Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula.
#DocGods
During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.
Stoker was born on 8 November 1847 at 15 Marino Crescent, Clontarf, on the northside of Dublin, Ireland. His parents were Abraham Stoker from Dublin and Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley, who was raised in County Sligo.
Stoker was the third of seven children, the eldest of whom was Sir Thornley Stoker, 1st Bt.
Stoker was bedridden with an unknown illness until he started school at the age of seven, when he made a complete recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years. He was educated in a private school run by the Rev. William Woods.
After his recovery, he grew up without further serious illnesses, even excelling as an athlete (he was named University Athlete) at Trinity College, Dublin, which he attended from 1864 to 1870. He graduated with honours as a B.A. in Mathematics. He was auditor of the College Historical Society (the Hist) and president of the University Philosophical Society, where his first paper was on Sensationalism in Fiction and Society.
Between 1879 and 1898, Stoker was a business manager for the Lyceum Theatre in London, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels, his most successful being the vampire tale Dracula published on 26 May 1897. Parts of it are set around the town of Whitby, where he spent summer holidays.
Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, authors such as H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, and H. G. Wells wrote many tales in which fantastic creatures threatened the British Empire. Invasion literature was at a peak, and Stoker's formula was very familiar by 1897 to readers of fantastic adventure stories, of an invasion of England by continental European influences. Victorian readers enjoyed Dracula as a good adventure story like many others, but it did not reach its legendary status until later in the 20th century when film versions began to appear.
Before writing Dracula, Stoker spent seven years researching European folklore and stories of vampires, being most influenced by Emily Gerard's 1885 essay Transylvania Superstitions which includes content about a vampire myth. Some historians are convinced that a historic figure, Vlad III Dracula, often called Vlad the Impaler, was the model for Stoker's Count although there is no supporting evidence. Stoker borrowed only scraps of miscellaneous information, according to one expert, about this bloodthirsty tyrant of Wallachia and there are no comments about him in Stoker's working notes. Dracula scholar Elizabeth Miller has remarked that aside from the name and some mention of Romanian history, the background of Stoker's Count bears no resemblance to that of Vlad III Dracula.
The Lyceum Theatre where Stoker worked between 1878 and 1898 was headed by actor-manager Henry Irving, who was Stoker's real-life inspiration for Dracula's mannerisms and who Stoker hoped would play Dracula in a stage version. Irving never did agree to do a stage version, but Dracula's dramatic sweeping gestures and gentlemanly mannerisms drew their living embodiment from Irving.
The Dead Un-Dead was one of Stoker's original titles for Dracula, and the manuscript was entitled simply The Un-Dead up until a few weeks before publication. Stoker's notes for Dracula show that the name of the count was originally Count Wampyr, but Stoker became intrigued by the name Dracula while doing research, after reading William Wilkinson's book An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia with Political Observations Relative to Them (London 1820), which he found in the Whitby Library and consulted a number of times during visits to Whitby in the 1890s.
Dracula was published in London in May 1897 by Archibald Constable and Company. Costing six shillings, the novel was bound yellow cloth and titled in red letters. It was copyrighted in the United States in 1899 with the publication by Doubleday & McClure of New York. But when Universal Studios purchased the rights, it came to light that Bram Stoker had not complied with a portion of US copyright law, placing the novel into the public domain. In the United Kingdom and other countries following the Berne Convention on copyrights, the novel was under copyright until April 1962, fifty years after Stoker's death.
