It was pioneered in the mid-19th century in Britain, Ireland, and the United States, before being developed in British novels such as Robert Louis Stevenson's '' Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'' (1886) and Irish novels such as Oscar Wilde's ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' (1890) and Bram Stoker's '' Dracula'' (1897).
