Polidori's 1819 short story "The Vampyre" was an immediate success and several other authors quickly adapted the character of Lord Ruthven into other works. An 1820 novel, <i>Lord Ruthwen ou les Vampires,</i> has been attributed to Cyprien Bérard or Charles Nodier. Nodier himself wrote an 1820 play, <i>Le Vampire,</i> which was adapted back into English for the London stage by James Robinson Planché as <i>The Vampire, or The Bride of the Isles</i>.
