Bridget's feedback:

"You've done a good job looking into the context of Dracula, assembling a robust bibliography, and identifying how specific moments in Stoker's novel can illuminate or be illuminated by understanding the time period. With all your material, you want to make sure your organization and presentation guides the reader smoothly through the discussion. As a next step, I would strongly recommend thinking about format and organization: address areas of repetition, think about transitioning as a way to guide the reader using phrases that "signpost", and examine your quotations--is a direct quote needed, or will a (cited) paraphrase do the same work; is the entire quotation necessary, or can the point be made with a briefer selection; is the quote integrated, or just plopped down into the text? You've got a lot of really good moving parts here: make sure your reader gets to encounter each of those parts smoothly."
