Review Quotes: "This book sheds new and valuable light on two early modern texts - Cleophilus' De coetu poetarum and Justus Lipsius' Somnium - that feature dreams in which both authors revisit the ancient literary past. The two texts receive expert contextualization and elucidation in this elegant and strikingly original production." --Gareth Williams, Columbia University, United States
