| Summary: | This book adds a humanistic touch to memory studies. It uses literature as a laboratory for the workings of the mind, and characters as the subjects of human experimentation and diagnostics. This book considers authors from different societies and historical periods. The book is an illumination on the functioning of human memory. It complements the work of neuroscientists who seek to rationalize the workings of the same. Drawing from various ideas on memory, this volume results from wide-ranging endeavors centered on the common fact that tracking memory in literature provides an astounding vista of orientations. The writers examined in the various chapters become mediums for unleashing memory and its reconfiguration into artistic images. The contributors investigate different aspects of memory in such memoric associations as power, music, resistance, trauma, and identity. |
