{"product_id":"dream-fantasy-and-visual-art-emma-scioli-9780299303846","title":"Dream, Fantasy, and Visual Art in Roman Elegy","description":"The elegists, ancient Rome's most introspective poets, filled their works with vivid, first-person accounts of dreams. \u003ci\u003eDream, Fantasy, and Visual Art in Roman Elegy\u003c\/i\u003e examines these varied and visually striking textual dreamscapes, arguing that the poets exploited dynamics of visual representation to allow readers to share in the intensely personal experience of dreaming.\u003cbr\u003e By treating dreams as a mode for viewing, an analogy suggested by diverse ancient authors, Emma Scioli extracts new information from the poetry of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid about the Roman concept of \"seeing\" dreams. Through comparison with other visual modes of description, such as ekphrasis and simile, as well as with related types of visual experience, such as fantasy and voyeurism, Scioli demonstrates similarities between artist, dreamer, and poet as creators, identifying the dreamer as a particular type of both viewer and narrator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Scioli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299303845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299303846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Emma Scioli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119536828671,"sku":"9780299303846","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db1e7127-ca17-4c36-9db5-70a6fbf37d42.jpg?v=1687409834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dream-fantasy-and-visual-art-emma-scioli-9780299303846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
