Reviews
Presents a fascinating reconsideration of eighteenth-century memory that invites a significant recalibration of how we understand the relationship not only between mind and matter in the period but also between the Enlightenment and Romanticism., A beautiful meditation on the curative potentials of memory. In innovative and virtuoso close readings of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century English novels, Eron highlights memory's kinship with the imagination., An innovative and provocative addition to the growing list of eighteenth- century literary analyses that focus on human cognitive processes. In this original book, Sarah Eron proposes a nuanced, complex understanding of memory that departs from the traditional Enlightenment, empiricist conception of memory as a mimetic imprint of sensory experience.

Synopsis
How do we understand memory in the early novel? Departing from traditional empiricist conceptualizations of remembering, Mind over Matter uncovers a social model of memory in Enlightenment fiction that is fluid and evolving - one that has the capacity to alter personal histories., How do we understand memory in the early novel? Departing from traditional empiricist conceptualizations of remembering, Mind over Matter uncovers a social model of memory in Enlightenment fiction that is fluid and evolving?one that has the capacity to alter personal histories. Memories are not merely imprints of first-hand experience stored in the mind, but composite stories transacted through dialogue and reading. Through new readings of works by Daniel Defoe, Frances Burney, Laurence Sterne, Jane Austen, and others, Sarah Eron tracks the fictional qualities of memory as a force that, much like the Romantic imagination, transposes time and alters forms. From Crusoe?s island and Toby?s bowling green to Evelina?s garden and Fanny?s east room, memory can alter, reconstitute, and even overcome the conditions of the physical environment. Memory shapes the process and outcome of the novel?s imaginative world-making, drafting new realities to better endure trauma and crises. Bringing together philosophy of mind, formalism, and narrative theory, Eron highlights how eighteenth-century novelists explored remembering as a creative and curative force for literary characters and readers alike. If memory is where we fictionalize reality, fiction?and especially the novel?is where the truths of memory can be found., How do we understand memory in the early novel?
