Fever Dreams and Fantastical Delirium in a Monthly Review
A fever dreams passage explores grotesque visions from a delirious mind, recounting encounters with a hag a layerer a dancing demon and mythic gods. The narrative shifts to literary criticism of Kingsley and contemporary magazines plus vivid camp life scenes and an extended reflection on Newcome and Thackeray's fiction.
