Tibbetts considers ''Dracula'' a prototype for later themes in the Gothic genre.{{Sfn|Tibbetts|2011|p=285}} The novel is characteristically Gothic in its depiction of the supernatural, preoccupation with the past,{{Sfn|Mighall|1999|pp=xix–xx}} and embodying of the racial, gendered and sexual anxieties of [[fin de siècle]] England.{{Sfn|Mighall|1999|p=166}} Count Dracula generally represents these tensions: cultural critic [[Jack Halberstam]] notes that he is masculinised and feminised;{{Sfn|Halberstam|1993|p=334}} Jerrold E. Hogle highlights his attraction to both Jonathan and Mina, and his appearance as racially western and eastern.{{Sfn|Hogle|2002|p=12}} Miller notes that the Count's physical characteristics were typical of Gothic villains during Stoker's lifetime, specifically citing his hooked nose, [[pallor]], large moustache and thick eyebrows as influenced by his villainous predecessors.{{Sfn|Miller|2001|p=150}} ''Dracula'' deviates from other Gothic tales before it by firmly establishing its time as the modern era,{{Sfn|Arata|1990|p=621}} a point raised by one contemporary reviewer.{{Sfn|The Daily Telegraph|1897}} Writers of the mode were drawn to the Eastern Europe setting because travelogues presented it as a land of primitive superstitions.{{Sfn|Miller|2001|p=137}}
