John S Garrison

The Pleasures of Memory in Shakespeare's Sonnets

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This imaginative and richly detailed study explores the deep connection between desire and recollection in Shakespeare's poetry. Drawing on cognitive science, the early modern memory arts, and psychoanalysis, as well as works by contemporary authors, the book shows how Shakespeare's Sonnets treat memory as a form of poetic narrative.
