From the Middle Ages onward, writers, artists, and composers have evoked canonical works from the distant or more recent past, in some cases in order to demonstrate respect for tradition, in others merely to enrich their own productions. But
whatever their reasons, they all, explains Citation, Intertextuality, and Memory in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, manipulated the memory of their readers. The essays in this multidisciplinary volume offer a wide array of scholarship on the role of
memory and citation in the cultural production of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, examining both renowned and less well-known works from France, England, and Italy.
Prefaced by Prof. Lina Bolzoni, a leading scholar in the field of memory building, this book gathers together various scholars from different countries and with different expertises, to address for the first time the issues of Medieval and Renaissance memory
and citation in the light of contemporary critical approaches, such as intertextuality, dialogism, and reception theory.
