Lord Ruthven (vampire)
text:
Lord Ruthven is a fictional character. First appearing in print in 1819, in John William Polidori's "The Vampyre", he was one of the first vampires in English literature. The name Ruthven was taken from Lady Caroline Lamb's Glenarvon (1816), where it was used as an unflattering parody of Lord Byron, while the character was based on Augustus Darvell from Byron's "Fragment of a Novel" (1819). "The Vampyre" was written privately, and published without Polidori's consent, with revisions to the story
