Mental Libraries: The Reception of the Arts of Memory in Literature and Culture explores the enduring legacy of mnemonic systems across literature, visual arts, pedagogy, and cultural production. Centered on the metaphor of the "mental library," this collection reveals how memory practices functioned as tools for knowledge storage as well as generative frameworks for creativity and invention. The 13 essays trace the reception, adaptation, and transformation of the ars memoriae from late medieval Europe to early modern Spain, Italy, France, and Latin America. Contributors examine canonical figures like Petrarch, Bruno, and Burton, alongside lesser-explored thinkers such as Bartolomeo da Mantova, Zorrilla, and Carrara. With insights from renowned scholars such as Lina Bolzoni and Luis Merino Jerez, this volume offers fresh perspectives on the cultural and intellectual impact of mnemonic systems. Rich in visual content and interdisciplinary analysis, Mental Libraries bridges past and present, inviting readers to rethink the role of memory in shaping knowledge, literature, and culture.
