Memory has long been ignored by rhetoricians because the written
word has made memorization virtually obsolete. Recently however, as
part of a revival of interest in classical rhetoric, scholars have
begun to realize that memory offers vast possibilities for today's
writers. Synthesizing research from rhetoric, psychology,
philosophy, and literary and composition studies, this volume
brings together many historical and contemporary theories of
memory. Yet its focus is clear: memory is a generator of knowledge
and a creative force which deserves attention at the beginning of
and throughout the writing process.
This volume emphasizes the importance of recognizing memory's
powers in an age in which mass media influence us all and
electronic communication changes the way we think and write. It
also addresses the importance of the individual memory and voice in
an age which promotes conformity. Written in a strong, lively
personal manner, the book covers a great deal of scholarly
material. It is never overbearing, and the extensive bibliography
offers rich vistas for further study.
