Description
Memory and Intertextuality in Renaissance Literature explores how literary works remember other literary works through theories of memory derived from cognitive science.
Raphael Lyne examines how poems and plays by Renaissance writers, such as Wyatt, Shakespeare, Jonson, and Milton, interact with their sources, using terms like implicit and explicit memory, interference, and forgetting to understand this process.
This book proposes a way forward for cognitive approaches to literature, valuing both experiments and texts as contributors to interdisciplinary questions. It will be of interest to researchers and upper-level students of Renaissance literature and drama, Shakespeare studies, memory studies, and classical reception.
