{"product_id":"dreams","title":"Dreams","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDreams\u003c\/em\u003e is a work that defies conventional categorization; however, one might best capture its unique formal structure by construing it as a series of prose poems or narrative paintings, a starkly modern text inflected by the far older tradition of the medieval dream-vision poem. Though a work of prophecy, it proceeds with a light touch. The sequence of eleven dreams, loosely interlinked, leaves us to wrestle with our doubts; it takes up thorny questions that challenge a culture right where it may tend to be its proudest. The landscape of the work shifts as it moves among the African savannah, congested late-industrial London, and the olive tree-studded hillsides of Italy. The intersectionality of Schreiner’s writing—its concern with gender, sexual orientation, class, nation, and race—makes her a particularly salient voice for today’s students. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appendices to this edition provide an accessible representation of Schreiner’s key contexts, South African and British as well as American. The introduction features a biographical overview of a writer wrestling with questions of social justice pertinent to her own era yet relevant to our contemporary moment.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66233356747101,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781554815647.jpg?v=1792200656","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/dreams","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
