In the Night I Dreamed of You - Poems of Love, Dreams, & Death

About this book

A haunting and lyrical collection of poems, united by themes of love, dreams, longing, and mortality. Tender yet unsparing, these poems reveal Levy's extraordinary ability to give voice to emotional complexity with clarity and restraint.

The collection includes works such as New Love, New Life, The Dream, In the Night, Borderland, Twilight, and Last Words, which together explore desire, loss, memory, and the fragile boundary between hope and despair. Levy's verse is marked by its musicality, psychological insight, and quiet intensity.

A pioneering literary figure and the first Jewish woman to study at Cambridge University, Amy Levy remains one of the most compelling poetic voices of the Victorian period. Published as part of the Ragged Hand poetry imprint, this new edition of In the Night I Dreamed of You includes an introductory biography of the author by Richard Garnett and is an essential volume for readers of Victorian poetry and feminist literary history.
