This book uses theories of memory derived from cognitive science to
offer new ways of understanding how literary works remember other
literary works. Using terms derived from psychology - implicit and
explicit memory, interference and forgetting - Raphael Lyne shows
how works by Renaissance writers such as Wyatt, Shakespeare,
Jonson, and Milton interact with their sources. The poems and plays
in question are themselves sources of insight into the workings of
memory, sharing and anticipating some scientific categories in the
process of their thinking. Lyne proposes a way forward for
cognitive approaches to literature, in which both experiments and
texts are valued as contributors to interdisciplinary questions.
His book will interest researchers and upper-level students of
renaissance literature and drama, Shakespeare studies, memory
studies, and classical reception.
