Memory and Invention

Description

Edited by Anna Maria Busse Berger and Massimiliano Rossi

In recent years it has become increasingly clear that the art of memory was closely related to compositional processes in literature, art, and music. These papers explore various aspects of how the relevant material was memorized-whether through division and classification, or through visual diagrams; how the memorized material was used to create new works; how the old texts and models were incorporated into new ones; what was left out and what was reinterpreted in new ways.
