Sleep And Its Spaces In Middle English Literature: Emotions, Ethics, Dreams (Manchester Medieval Literature And Culture)

This book shows how sleep and the spaces in which it takes place animate ethical codes and emotive scripts, shaping a range of medieval English genres. In particular, it demonstrates the significance of sleep-related motifs to Middle English romance and offers a more embodied understanding of dream visions by Chaucer, Langland and the Pearl-poet.
