Memory in playfrom Aeschylus to Sam Shepard /[electronic resource] :Attilio Favorini. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - x, 323 p. ;25 cm. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history. - Palgrave studies in theatre and performance history..

Includes bibliographical references (p. [289]-307) and index.

Drama and the history of memory -- Drama and the memory of history -- Memory plays before the"memory play" -- The "memory play" and after:narrative paradigms -- Drama of mnemic signs -- Confrontation or convergence: staging the encounter of history and memory.

Memory in Play makes evident that memory, though critically neglected, is as significant as race, gender, and class as a feature of dramatic character construction. Favorini skillfully argues that dramatic models of memory need to be reckoned along with the constructions of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience in order to render a full account ofthe history of memory. Through this lens,the work of Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Goethe, Ibsen, and Strindberg, as well as such pillars of twentieth-century drama as Pirandello, O'Neill, Wilder, Sherwood, Williams, Miller, Anouilh, Beckett, Pinter, Friel, Shepard, Kennedy, and Wilson are explored. By offering a vantage point for recognizing how dramatistshave contributed to the conception of memory alongside other "memographers," irrespective of discipline, a lingua franca emerges for discussing a phenomenon studied from the perspectives of so many theoretical bases.
