Excerpt: ... pendent agency external to mind and yet at home in it; which is just what might be said of dreams. And madness being mentioned, another remark occurs. Insanity is robbed of half its terrors by the extremely probable supposition that the state of madness is a state of constant dreaming; and wherever insanity appears it certainly seems that the mental faculties have fallen apart from each other, and that imagination takes full possession in unbridled strength. IV We have here a strong array of evidence for the imagination-in-detachment theory, which I think will hold; but not without considerable ekings, or perhaps without transformation absolute. For unless it may be assumed that imagination has far more tremendous powers than have ever yet been allowed to it--unless, that is to say, it is capable of simulating effectually, or of developing in itself, nearly all the other qualities of mind--this theory does not suffice to explain 'proleptic' dreams; such as the garden dream and the dream of the Queen's palace, which is told in the Notes. And now comes in another point for remark. So far as we know, neither the freer imagination of childhood nor the absolutely unfettered faculty in madness is ever productive of the kind of dreams which are called supernatural, for want of a word more accurately expressive. These are the most remarkable phenomena, of sleep; and it appears that prophetic dreams, or dreams which seem to import something of the supernatural, only arise in sane minds. Moreover, they do not appear in these till the mental qualities have come to full growth, and are brought into a condition of close inter-dependence. But if so, then supernatural dreams are eminently worthy of consideration in any attempt to survey the scope and...
Download or read book Nation Narration written by Homi K Bhabha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhabha, in his preface, writes 'Nations, like narratives, lose their origins in the myths of time and only fully encounter their horizons in the mind's eye'. From this seemingly impossibly metaphorical beginning, this volume confronts the realities of the concept of nationhood as it is lived and the profound ambivalence of language as it is written. From Gillian Beer's reading of Virginia Woolf, Rachel Bowlby's cultural history of Uncle Tom's Cabin and Francis Mulhern's study of Leaviste's 'English ethics'; to Doris Sommer's study of the 'magical realism' of Latin American fiction and Sneja Gunew's analysis of Australian writing, Nation and Narration is a celebration of the fact that English is no longer an English national consciousness, which is not nationalist, but is the only thing that will give us an international dimension.
Download or read book Imagination in Dreams and Their Study Classic Reprint written by Frederick Greenwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imagination in Dreams and Their Study Two essays - one of them published in the Contemporary Review, the other in the New Review - are the foundation of this little book. Those papers were favoured with a good deal of attention; which I take as additional evidence, in a small way, that though most of us make it a point of en lightenment to speak slightingly of dreams the contempt we ask credit for is rarely sincere. We really know better than to speak slightingly of dreams; unless, indeed, we have no experience of them or have never dreamt anything but incoherent and inconsequential nonsense.

Download or read book Coleridge on Dreaming written by Jennifer Ford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in-depth investigation of Coleridge's responses to his dreams and to contemporary debates on the nature of dreaming, a subject of perennial interest to poets, philosophers and scientists throughout the Romantic period. Coleridge wrote and read extensively on the subject, but his richly diverse and original ideas have hitherto received little attention, scattered as they are throughout his notebooks, letters and marginalia. Jennifer Ford's emphasis is on analysing the ways in which dreaming processes were construed, by Coleridge in his dream readings, and by his contemporaries in a range of poetic and medical works. This historical exploration of dreams and dreaming allows Ford to explore previously neglected contemporary debates on 'the medical imagination'. By avoiding purely biographical or psychoanalytic approaches, she reveals instead a rich historical context for the ways in which the most mysterious workings of the Romantic imagination were explored and understood.

Download or read book Suspiria de Profundis written by Thomas De Quincey and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-05-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Suspiria is a collection of prose poems, or what De Quincey called “impassioned prose,” erratically written and published starting in 1854. Each Suspiria is a short essay written in reflection of the opium dreams De Quincey would experience over the course of his lifetime addiction, and they are considered by some critics to be some of the finest examples of prose poetry in all of English literature. De Quincey originally planned them as a sequel of sorts to his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, but the first set was published separately in Blackwood’s Magazine in the spring and summer of that 1854. De Quincey then published a revised version of those first Suspiria, along with several new ones, in his collected works. During his life he kept a master list of titles of the Suspiria he planned on writing, and completed several more before his death; those that survived time and fire were published posthumously in 1891.
