How do you critique a miracle? Writers often draw on dreams for their inspiration, and those dreams are often precognitive, foreshadowing upheavals in the writer's future. It means that literature may often be prophetic, and that standard critical approaches focused solely on an author's prior influences or present life context are inadequate to fully understand the miracle of literary creation. This exercise in "psychic deconstruction" examines the works and lives of six imaginative (and in most cases, dream-inspired) writers: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Shelley, J. R. R. Tolkien, ...

Bienvenidas y bienvenidos a Criminología sin Filtro, un espacio donde la criminología sale del aula y se adentra en los casos.
