How has understanding of memory evolved over the past 2,500 years?
How has our collective memory been influenced and expressed by
politics, culture, philosophy and science? In a work that spans
over 2,500 years, these ambitious questions are addressed by 64
experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a
period in history. The volumes situate our understanding of memory
within a variety of historical contexts, looking to art and science
alike to determine how it has changed in Western society since
Antiquity. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the
whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles
are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of
reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following
a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of
the six. The six volumes cover: 1. – Antiquity (800 BCE - 500
CE); 2. – Middle Ages (500 - 1450); 3. – Early Modern Age (1450
- 1700) ; 4. – Eighteenth Century (1700 - 1800); 5. –
Nineteenth Century (1800 - 1900); 6. – Long Twentieth Century
(1900 – 2000+). Themes (and chapter titles) are: Politics; Time
and Space; Media and Technology; Science and Education; Philosophy;
Religion and History; High Culture and Popular Culture; Society;
Remembering and Forgetting. The page extent is approximately 1,728
pp with c. 300 illustrations. Each volume opens with Notes on
Contributors, a series preface and an introduction, and concludes
with Notes, Bibliography and an Index. The Cultural Histories
Series A Cultural History of Memory is part of The Cultural
Histories Series. Titles are available both as printed hardcover
sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off
purchase and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a
fully-searchable digital library available to institutions by
annual subscription or on perpetual access (see
www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com). Individual volumes for
academics and researchers interested in specific historical periods
are also available in print or digitally via
www.bloomsburycollections.com .
