Polidori, John William (1795–1821), physician and aspiring writer. After completing his medical training at Edinburgh he was employed as personal physician to
Byron, and engaged to travel with him in Europe for the summer of 1816; Polidori's posthumously published
Diary (1911) records these experiences. During this time he participated in the famous ghost-story competition that led to Mary Shelley's writing of
Frankenstein, and to Polidori's own novel
Ernestus Berchtold (1819). His story
The Vampyre (based on a fragment by Byron and first published under Byron's own name) laid the foundations for modern vampire fiction.
