Dreams (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Olive Schreiner

Overview

Published in 1890, this remarkable collection of dreams is notable for its surreal, poetic intensity.  Some of the dreams are allegorical, while others have a wild quality to them, as if they flowed directly from the author's unconscious onto the page.  Includes what is perhaps Schreiner's best-known short piece, "A Dream of Wild Bees."

About the Author

Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) was a South African writer and feminist.  Her novel The Story of an African Farm (1883) is considered a classic, and her pioneering study of socialism and gender, Women and Labour, became an inspiration for feminists around the world. She also penned an introduction for Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women.
