- This first English-language monograph on Ottoman dreamscapes shows the crucial role of dreams in the formation of learned communities in seventeenth-century Istanbul. Drawing on five years of research in Turkish archives, Dreams introduces hitherto little-known sources and offers not only a new perspective but also new material to examine the lives and intellectual horizons of Ottoman learned circles. The book weaves this cultural history into the broader literary landscape of early modern Eurasia, from China to England. Dreams and Lives provides a rare example of comparative literary history and contributes to the study of early modern connected histories.
