Review of Struve, Lynn A. The Dreaming Mind and the End of the Ming World
Lynn A. Struve boldly places dreams at the center of historical inquiry in The Dreaming Mind and the End of the Ming World. Basing the book on dream-related writings produced by Chinese literati between 1550 and 1700, Struve intricately narrates the rise of dream sensibility that paralleled the collapse of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and its aftermath.
