Apparently Bram Stoker was much influenced in the writing of Dracula by William Wilkinson's Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia which had been published in 1820. And Wilkinson's book was partly based on The Generall Historie of the Turkes by Richard Knolles, which came out in 1603.
Has anyone read either of these books?
