The elegists; ancient Romersquo;s most introspective poets; filled their works with vivid; first-person accounts of dreams. Dream; Fantasy; and Visual Art in Roman Elegy examines these varied and visually striking textual dreamscapes; arguing that the poets exploited dynamics of visual representation to allow readers to share in the intensely personal experience of dreaming. By treating dreams as a mode for viewing; an analogy suggested by diverse ancient authors; Emma Scioli extracts new information from the poetry of Propertius; Tibullus; and Ovid about the Roman concept of ldquo;seeingrdquo; dreams. Through comparison with other visual modes of description; such as ekphrasis and simile; as well as with related types of visual experience; such as fantasy and voyeurism; Scioli demonstrates similarities between artist; dreamer; and poet as creators; identifying the dreamer as a particular type of both viewer and narrator.
