Description
Gothic dreams and nightmares is an edited collection on the compelling yet under-theorised subject of Gothic dreams and nightmares ranging across more than two centuries of literature, the visual arts, and twentieth- and twenty-first century visual media. Written by an international group of experts, including leading and lesser-known scholars, it considers its subject in various national, cultural, and socio-historical contexts, engaging with questions of philosophy, morality, rationality, consciousness, and creativity. -- .
Reviews / Votes
' Davison (Univ. of Windsor, Canada) critiques the "universalizing" psychoanalytic approach to Gothic dreaming, arguing that criticism must attend to local historical contexts for theorizing dreams.'Choice
