Abstract:

Books read with the total absorption of childhood are hugely influential and affectionately remembered. They are an important element in our emotional histories. Rereading them after many years is not the simple nostalgic exercise it might at first appear. This article considers one particular rereading and its implications in terms of the way memory works to relocate our past in the present.
