I must draw everyone’s attention to the best footnote in all of Leonard Wolf’s Essential Dracula.

Currently working on a post series of all the passages in Phantom of the Opera that got edited out of the 1911 translation. (As they are represented in Leonard Wolf's The Essential Phantom of the Opera)
I think it's fascinating that there have been a slew of translations from 1990 onward, and yet the 1911 is still the mass-market default with no caveats that the text is incomplete (or, to be diplomatic, "abridged").
Even editions that have portions added back in (See Old Style Tales 2018 edition, edited and annotated by M. Grant Kellermeyer) are still missing huge, very illuminating chunks, ones that especially shed light on Raoul's character and Christine's actions.

The Annotated Dracula
Bram Stoker / notes by Leonard Wolf / illustrated by Sätty
Ballantine Books 1975
With annotations by noted poet, author, and translator Leonard Wolf (1923-2019), who has also annotated Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and The Phantom of the Opera, The Annotated Dracula is a wonderful book. Besides the informative and entertaining notes, among the features of this edition are 18 Doré-inspired illustrations by Wilfried Sätty as well as over 100 other incidental illustrations, eight detailed maps tracing the Count’s journey, a detailed calendar of events set against the phases of the moon, a guide to every appearance of Dracula in the book and in what form, a brief filmography of notable Dracula films, and even a list of English and foreign language editions of the book. Using as the base text a photo offset reproduction of a copy from the second printing of the first edition of the book, this version of Bram Stoker’s (1847-1912) most famous work feels definitive.

I know Leonard Wolf's translation is neither the most accurate to the language, nor the most poetic, but the phrase
"The sovereign anger of the Devil"
That slaps.
