Bram Stoker, born in Ireland in 1847, studied mathematics at Dublin's Trinity College and began his long career as an assistant to actor Sir Henry Irving in the 1870s. He also began his second career as a writer, publishing his first novel, Primrose Path, in 1875. Stoker published his famous book, Dracula, in 1897, even though he died before the fictional vampire gained widespread popularity despite many films and literary scenes in the 20th century.
