The symbolism of Victoria's unending grief was not lost on her subjects, who saw her sadness as pathologizing memory, even as it indicated its power. Encoded, then, into nineteenth-century memory are a variety of conflicting impulses and anxieties; the chapters in this collection work both to recover memory and discover its uses. Divided into two parts, this collection addresses itself to understanding and reconstructing memory first as a cultural phenomenon, exploring literature, science, and history; and then as a written and architectural trope, in its forms of elegy and memorial. Throughout, the chapters demonstrate a keen alertness to the ramifications of writing memory and relying on its powers.
