In this valuable addition to the growing body of scholarship on the centrality of memory in the Middle Ages, Brenner (medieval and early modern medicine, Wellcome Library, UK), Franklin-Brown (French and Italian, U. of Minnesota, Twin Cities), and Cohen (art history, U. of California, Los Angeles) introduce chapters that draw from art history, historiography, intellectual history, the study of religious culture, and gender studies. Topics discussed include art images of martyred saints; differences between oral, written, and visual memory; remembrance vs. forgetting; and commemorative practices in medieval and modern periods. The primary focus is on France, secondarily on other Western European countries. Includes period illustrations. Based on the International Medieval Society symposium held in Paris in 2007.
