When Memories Come Alive: 'Vivid' Remembering in Early Modern Britain

In cognitive science and psychology, 'vivid' memory is a recognised conceptual category, associated with particular sensory and emotional qualities. Can this category be usefully adopted by historians? The study of early modern memory has flourished in recent years, but scholars have typically explored the collective and social dimensions of memory over and above the individual experience of remembering. However, early modern natural philosophers did theorise about how bodies and souls cooperated to produce compelling mental images, while theologians discussed how the Holy Spirit could make the naturally 'dead' memory operate 'lively and powerfully'. Life-writers, meanwhile, described their formative experiences in ways that parallel both classical rhetorical models for lively narrative, and modern-day psychological templates for vivid memory. An interdisciplinary analysis of early modern memory accounts may open up new avenues for debate, and guide us towards a richer understanding of how memory was felt and understood.

16/06 11am-1pm: CHMST & WIE Public Engagement Workshop

warwickhistory — Wed, 20 May 2026 12:03:59 GMT

When: 11am - 1pm, Tue, 16 Jun '26

This workshop will introduce key concepts from public engagement theory that can support good practice. From understanding your purpose to tailoring for your audience, we will explore the important questions to consider when designing and developing public engagement activity and the value of this to both individuals and the institution. We will reflect on how this could be applied to your own research, and discuss the wider support available from the Warwick Institute of Engagement - wherever you are on your engagement journey.

The workshop will be led by Laura Harford, the strategic lead for Resonate, WIE’s public events programme. She has extensive experience in outreach and public engagement, and works closely with students, staff and community partners to create accessible and engaging projects.

The workshop will run from 11-1 on 16th June, and a buffet lunch will be provided after the session.
