Books by Paul Edward Dutton

Surveying the sleep of kings and the status of royal dreams from the classical period to the ninth century, this study examines individual dreams and the political disruption that informs them. It presents Charlemagne's lust, demons and archangels, and Charles the Fat's journey through an otherworld to an uncertain constitutional future.

"I've been teaching the 'Age of Charlemagne' for 25 years. Thanks to Paul Dutton, I finally have the book I need to make this age come alive." - Charles R. Bowlus, Professor Emeritus, University of Arkansas at Little Rock
