Literary Criticism as Dream Analysis

This work by author Jeanne Roberts focuses on Renaissance writers and their critics, but occasionally extends to include other eras in ways emphasizing recurring problems and disparate responses. The critic, like the poet and the scientist, is ceaselessly concerned with the exploration of reality of the world as it is and focuses attention on men and women as part of that reality. These critical essays engage the moral sensibilities of the readers with problems and insights far beyond the limits of their own experience to illuminate feelings, sharpen values, and make decisions possible.
