Dreams and Experience in Classical Antiquity by William V Harris (PDF)

Description

From the Iliad to Aristophanes, from the gospel of Matthew to Augustine, Greek and Latin texts are constellated with descriptive images of dreams. This cultural history of dreams in antiquity draws on both contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris takes an elusive subject and writes about it with rigor and precision, reminding us of specificities, contexts, and changing attitudes through history.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Professor Harris is a wonderful historian & teacher. I took one of his classes when I first entered college as an adult. At the end of the semester I was moved to travel to Greece and then Rome. It was all new to me. My way of saying that Professor Harris is so smart that he makes the material easy to enter.

⭐”Dreams and Experience in Classical Antiquity” is on the ROROTOKO list of cutting-edge intellectual nonfiction. Professor Harris’s book interview ran here as cover feature on October 14, 2009.

⭐This is a wonderful book that is very judicious in its presentation of how people conceived of and wrote about dreams in the ancient past. My only complaint is not about the content or the writing but the translation into the Kindle version. All the photographs are gone (it was infuriating to be told over and over to consult the print version for these), and the hyperlink notes have not been carefully done; some appear mistakenly in the text of the book. My advice: buy this enlightening and delightful book in its print version!
