Being interested in dreams myself, I find this to be quite enlightening. I hadn't realized how dreams in medieval times influenced decisions & opinions so much. Well worth the read!

Dreaming the English Renaissance

This book went into a facet of the English Renaissance that I have never read before. It was very well written and I would recommend it to anyone interrested in the Renaissance or British History. I was not aware of this study of the English Renaissance. After reading this book I would like to further explore this little known side study of the Renaissance.
