This collection of essays historicizes and theorizes forgetting in English Renaissance literary texts and their cultural contexts. Its essays open up an area of study overlooked by contemporary Renaissance scholarship, which is too often swayed by a critical paradigm devoted to the "art of memory." This volume recovers the crucial role of forgetting in producing early modernity's subjective and collective identities, desires and fantasies.

'This collection is a significant achievment in Renaissance studies.' - Lynne Magnusson, University of Toronto, Renaissance Quarterly'This is a valuable collection, a fine contribution not only to studies of Renaissance literature and culture but also to the continuing problematice of memory and forgetting. Well-researched, agile and appropriately various in their explorations of a common theme, the essays are informative and engaging.' - Brian Edwards, Deakin University
