Memory and Invention: Medieval and Renaissance Literature, Art and Music - Rossi, Massimiliano -1964; Berger, Anna Maria Busse (Florence Olschki, 2009)
In recent years, it has become increasingly clear how closely the art of memory is linked to compositional processes in literature, art and music. These essays investigate why and which materials have or have not been memorised through splitting and classifying or through visual diagrams, and which texts or patterns have been reworked into new works or reinterpreted in new ways.
