The volume assembles articles taking an interdisciplinary perspective on problems of medieval studies research into the concept of memoria, the humanist culture of memoria, and remembrance as thematized in recent and contemporary literature. The studies focus first on two major topics: a) the problem of what is meant by 'cultural memory', how it ties in with identity, and the way this concept has changed through the ages; and b) fictionality. The rest of the volume is given over to a discussion of the relation between remembrance and apperception, a subject only given marginal attention in the recent research literature.

This volume assembles the findings of the 14th Anglo-German colloquium on German medieval literature. The 22 contributions all revolve around the subject of "Author and Authorship", a theme very much in the foreground of discussion in present-day medieval literary studies. Most of the articles are case studies and draw on texts from the whole gamut of German medieval literature to discuss such issues as the relation between performance, textuality and authorship, the functional status of author's names and author's pictures in manuscript traditions, a historically adequate concept of authorship, the various roles played by authors and the specific profiles these roles display in different genres.
