In medieval society and culture, memory occupied a unique position.
It was central to intellectual life and the medieval understanding
of the human mind. Commemoration of the dead was also a fundamental
Christian activity. Above all, the past - and the memory of it -
occupied a central position in medieval thinking, from ideas
concerning the family unit to those shaping political institutions.
Focusing on France but incorporating studies from further afield,
this collection of essays marks an important new contribution to
the study of medieval memory and commemoration. Arranged
thematically, each part highlights how memory cannot be studied in
isolation, but instead intersects with many other areas of medieval
scholarship, including art history, historiography, intellectual
history, and the study of religious culture. Key themes in the
study of memory are explored, such as collective memory, the links
between memory and identity, the fallibility of memory, and the
linking of memory to the future, as an anticipation of what is to
come.
