She shows how memory not only has a factual basis but is inseparable from fictional and aesthetic elements. Beautifully written in accessible prose, and impressive in its scope, the book takes up works by Proust, Woolf, George Eliot, Nerval, Lou Andreas-Salome, and Sigmund Freud, getting to the heart of essential questions about mental images, empirical knowledge, and the devastations of memory loss in ways that are suggestive and profound. \u003ci\u003eArchitexts of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e joins a growing body of work in the lively field of memory studies, drawing from clinical psychology, psychoanalysis, and neurobiology as well as literary studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"An important, cogently argued, subtle and rich study of a topic of great interest.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Mieke Bal, University of Amsterdam \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A work of literary studies positioned at the intersection of tradition and innovation.
