The Dream is Joanna Baillie’s gothic, proto-Lynchian meditation on fear, guilt, and the prophetic power of dreams. In the cloistered confines of a Swiss monastery, a small group of monks share the same prophetic dream: a forlorn specter reaches out to them with a mysterious—and potentially life-threatening—ultimatum.

Olive Schreiner, a pioneering South African writer and intellectual born in 1855 to missionary parents in the Eastern Cape, emerged as one of the earliest advocates for womens rights. Fiercely critical of British Imperialism, she opposed its racist policies toward the Boers, Jews, Indians, and the Black communities of South Africa.
