Memory by Alison Winter
Picture your twenty-first birthday. Did you have a party? If so, do you remember who was there? Now step back: how clear are those memories? Are they hidden somewhere in your brain, or are they lost forever? This book shows that the answers have changed dramatically in just the past century.
"Winter combines a flair for storytelling with a scrupulous attention to historical evidence, offering a history at once intellectually satisfying and, well, mesmerizing" -Publishers Weekly "A captivating inquiry into a bizarre and neglected mystical phenomenon." -Kirkus Reviews"
Alison Winter is associate professor of history at the University of Chicago and the author of Mesmerized: Powers of Mind in Victorian Britain, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
