- Description
- Analyzes medieval theory of dreams, tracing development from late antiquity to the late Middle Ages. In theory, in literature, and in life, dreams were regarded as both potentially deceptive and potentially illuminating. The work concentrates on theorists of dreams and interpretation of real-life dreams but comments on and provides background for literary dream visions, including Chaucer's.
