Dreaming by the book

"We often attribute to our imaginative life powers that go beyond ordinary perception or sensation. In Dreaming by the Book, the noted scholar Elaine Scarry explores the apparently miraculous processes by which poets and writers confer those powers on us: how they teach us the work of imaginative creation." "Dreaming by the Book is not only an original work of literary analysis but a sequence of on-the-spot mental experiments."--Jacket.
