The concept of 'memory' has given rise to some of the most exciting new directions in contemporary theory.

In this much-needed guide to a burgeoning field of a study, Anne Whitehead:

    • examines debates around the term in their historical and cultural contexts
    • introduces the reader to key thinkers in the field, from ancient Greece to the present day
    • traces the links between theorisations and literary representations of memory
