Based upon surviving transcripts of her dreams and on the voluminous records of her trial before the Inquisition, \u003ci\u003eLucrecia's Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e traces the complex personal and political ramifications of Lucrecia's prophetic career. This hitherto unexamined episode in Spanish history sheds new light on the history of women as well as on the history of dream interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlatan or clairvoyant, sinner or saint, Lucrecia was transformed by her dreams into a \u003ci\u003ecause celébre\u003c\/i\u003e, the rebellious counterpart to that other extraordinary woman of Golden Age Spain, St. Theresa of Jesus. Her supporters viewed her as a divinely inspired seer who exposed the personal and political shortcomings of Philip II of Spain. In examining the relation of dreams and prophecy to politics, Richard Kagan pays particular attention to the activities of the streetcorner prophets and female seers who formed the political underworld of sixteenth-century Spain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard L.
