Writers' Houses and the Making of Memory de Harald Hendrix

Writers' Houses and the Making of Memory

Editat de Harald Hendrix
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2007
This innovative new book examines the ways in which writers’ houses contribute to the making of memory. It shows that houses built or inhabited by poets and novelists both reflect and construct the author’s private and artistic persona; it also demonstrates how this materialized process of self-fashioning is subsequently appropriated within various strategies and policies of cultural memory.
