El vampiro en la Europa medieval: el caso inglés
Keywords:
revenant, vampire, pseudo-historical chronicles, BeowulfAbstract
This paper deals with the belief in the living dead (revenants) during the Middle Ages in Europe. Particularly, I will focus on the vampire, a special type of revenant characterised by the consumption of human flesh and blood. In the last section, the analysis of several medieval works written in England will prove that, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the earliest cases of vampirism recorded in texts were produced in the British Isles.
