Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847 and remained bedridden until the age of seven before becoming a university athlete; he was a civil servant at Dublin Castle and an unpaid theatre critic, then for twenty-seven years the business manager of Henry Irving's company at the Lyceum in London, a post that took over his life. He wrote several novels and a biography of Irving, and had to ask for aid from the writers' relief fund in his last years. He died in London in 1912, aged sixty-four.
