Book excerpt: Milne's main ideas revolve around the idea that the concept and practice of carnival was supressed over the course of the era in which Bruegel lived. The result of this repression led to the privatisation of carnivalesque urges, which in turn led to the proto-surrealism of Bruegel (and of course of Bosch just before him). This, the author argues, is one of the main sources for modern nightmares.
