What is Dreams of the Burning Child : Sacrificial Sons and the Father's Witness about?

<p>in <i>dreams Of The Burning Child</i>, David Lee Miller Explores The Uncanny Persistence Of Filial Sacrifice As A Motif In English Literature And Its Classical And Biblical Antecedents. He Combines Strikingly Original Reinterpretations Of The <i>aeneid</i>, <i>hamlet</i>, <i>the Winter's Tale</i>, And <i>dombey And Son</i> With Perceptive Accounts Of Dreams Found In Memoirs, Poems, And Psychoanalytic Texts.<p> Miller Looks Closely At The Grisly Fantasy Of The Sacrifice Of Sons As It Is Depicted In Classical Epic, Early Modern Drama, The Nineteenth-century Novel, The Postcolonial Novel, The Lyric, The Funeral Elegy, Sacred Scriptures, And Psychoanalytic Theory. He Also Draws Examples From Painting, Sculpture, Photography, And Architecture Into A Witty And Engaging Discussion That Ranges From The Binding Of Isaac To Chinua Achebe's <i>things Fall Apart</i>, And From Questions Of Literary History To The Dilemmas Of Patriarchal Masculinity.</p>
