Book Synopsis Dream, Fantasy, and Visual Art in Roman Elegy by : Emma Scioli
Book excerpt: The elegists, ancient Rome's most introspective poets, filled their works with vivid, first-person accounts of dreams. Emma Scioli examines these varied and visually striking textual dreamscapes, arguing that the poets exploited dynamics of visual representation to share with readers the intensely personal experience of dreaming.
