‘Famous Impostors’ is a non-fiction book written by Bram Stoker, best known as the author of ‘Dracula.’ It was published in 1910.
In ‘Famous Impostors, ‘ Stoker explores various historical figures who gained notoriety for impersonating others or perpetrating frauds. The book delves into the lives and exploits of individuals such as Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be a lost prince of England; Princess Caraboo, an impostor who pretended to be royalty; and George Psalmanazar, who fabricated a false identity as a native of Formosa (modern-day Taiwan).
Stoker’s work sheds light on the phenomenon of imposture throughout history, examining the motivations and methods of famous impostors and the impact their deceptions had on society. While not as well-known as Stoker’s Gothic fiction, ‘Famous Impostors’ remains a fascinating exploration of human deception and the allure of false identities.
