Research output: Contribution to Conference › Paper

Abstract

Based on Classical and Biblical authorities, many medieval writers used the dream vision, either as a literary device, political subversion or as a way of conveying a mystical experience. In some ways the dream vision negated responsibility from the material they were conveying. This paper considers some uses of the medieval dream vision, with particular reference to the devotional, elegiac poem, Pearl
