Abstract

Although the dream-vision poem is not conventionally thought of as a category of early modern literature, it has come to assume an increasingly important place within women’s literary studies and figures significantly in scholarship on early modern women’s poetry. This entry considers writers both familiar and surprising to demonstrate the rich variety, skill, and inventiveness of women’s dream-vision poetry. Offering points of connection between writers, and with broader literary trends, genres, and traditions, this entry also invites opportunity to expand the known corpus of early modern women’s dream-vision poems, and to consider the dream-vision’s role in shaping both early modern women’s textual and subjective identities and the literary canon.
