A revolutionary book about mnemonic techniques, and their relation to culture as a whole, which is itself hard to forget.
Dame Frances Yates achieved a world-wide reputation as an
historian. She was Reader in the History of the Renaissance at the
Warburg Institute of the University of London and gained many
academic honours. In 1972 she was appointed OBE and in 1977
DBE.
Her publications include Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition,
Theatre of the World, The Rosicrucian Enlightenment, and
Shakespeare's Last Plays. Frances Yates died in 1981.
Frances Yates is that rare thing, a truly thrilling scholar
*The Times*
One of those quite remarkable and unclassifiable books on the
history of knowledge which suddenly makes sense of three or four
issues in terms of one commanding metaphor
