Shakespeare's Memory Theatre: Recollection, Properties, and Character
Wilder, Lina Perkins (Connecticut College)
Lina Wilder argues that the 'places' and 'objects' of the memory arts inform Shakespeare's conception of theatre, and vice versa. Ranging from Yorick's skull to Desdemona's handkerchief, Shakespeare's mnemonic objects help audiences to recall, or imagine, staged and unstaged pasts.
