Richard Moore Jr

Revolution, Empire, and the Gothic Dream

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph examines the centrality of dreams and their significant transformations in British Gothic novels and in Caribbean novels. The Gothic counters the Enlightenment's internalization of dreams by reimagining dreams as social and political phenomena. They subsequently play vital roles in responding to profound questions concerning revolution and empire.
