Background
From 1878, Bram Stoker worked for Irving as a business manager at the Lyceum a post he held for 27 years. Stoker idolised Irving to the point that as one contemporary remarked, 'To Bram, Irving is as a god, and can do no wrong.' In the considered judgment of one biographer, Stoker's friendship with Irving was 'the most important love relationship of his adult life.' The Stokers called their only child Irving Noel Thornley Stoker.
