Summary

Summary

In this book, Ronald R. Thomas investigates the rich connection between dreams and the novel in nineteenth-century British culture. By mapping out the paradigmatic plot that informs the dream in Victorian literature, Thomas demonstrates the powerful relationship underlying two critical issues: Freud's use of literature to support his psychological theories and the thematic importance of dreams in nineteenth-century fiction, particularly gothic, autobiographical, and detective genres.
