Raphael Lyne

Opis

This book uses theories of memory derived from cognitive science to offer new ways of understanding how literary works remember other literary works.

Recenzje

'Lyne approaches memory as an elastic metaphor. Early modern memory culture adheres to no single model of memory; neither does Lyne's argument … by directly addressing specific sets of questions in cognitive science, Lyne provides a robust and humanistic response, an intertext as it were, to ongoing social-scientific research in memory … in terms of its contribution to literary theory, this is the strongest work on early modern memory that I have read.' Lina Perkins Wilder, Connecticut College
