GENERAL INTRODUCTION Mary Carruthers and Jan M. Ziolkowski This anthology is devoted to the methods of a craft that seems to many people now not just antiquated but wrongheadedhow can our own memory be thought of as the product of a craft? We can think of our memories as being like valuables in a bank vault, just sitting in our brains, collecting dust and grime, perhaps (in a poorly made and tended vault) suffering depredations from rats and air pollution, until oblivion overtakes them.
Re-collection is not passive, but rather an activity involving human will and thought; it is often defined as a form of reasoning. Ancient and medieval writers on memory recognized, as we now do, the dual aspects of storage and recollection involved in remembering. The assumption that human memories are made and remade is emphasized by the very words used to describe memory.
