Item description from seller

Hardcover. XXVI 282 p., 18 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503516837. Scholars of medieval literary and cultural history have grown more aware of the crucial role of memory in the production, reception and functioning of texts and manuscripts. We owe this to the pioneering studies of Frances Yates and, more recently, Mary Carruthers and Susan Hagen. Historical linguists for their part try to describe the linguistic means by which listeners and readers are enabled to store the information flow in their memories. The relationship between medieval texts and memory is at the centre of this book. Seven historians of literature, three linguists and one art historian have contributed eleven essays, subsumed under three sections. The first section, 'Memory Texts', discusses genres that belong to medieval mnemonics. In the second and most extensive section, 'Memory Aspects in Texts', the focus is on literature and, more particularly, on how attention for mnemonics can enhance our insight into the form, composition and functioning of literary texts and manuscripts. Mental and visual images play a central role here. 'Text Memory', the final section, analyses medieval (French) literary discourse as a fabric of reference chains, in which different grammatical markers generate and organise mental representations in the memory. 0 g.
