| | | | | Richard Roxburgh: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Historical connections Although Dracula is a work of fiction, it does contain some historical references. The historical connections with the novel, how much Stoker really knew about the history, is a matter of conjecture and debate.
Following the publication of In Search of Dracula by Radu Florescu and Raymond McNally in 1972 the supposed connections between the historical Vlad III Dracula and Bram Stoker's fictional Dracula attracted popular attention. During the six year reign of Vlad III (1456–1462), "Vlad the Impaler" is estimated to ha ...

| | | | | Richard Roxburgh: Encyclopedia II - The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Overview The story takes place in 1898 in a fictional world where all of the characters and events from Victorian era adventure literature actually existed. The world the characters inhabit is one far more technologically advanced than our own was in the same year. This setting allows Moore and O'Neill to insert 'in-jokes' and cameos from many of the great works of Victorian fiction, while also making contemporary references and jibes. (In issue 1, there is a half-finished bridge to link Britain and France, ...
