Conclusion
View through CrossRef
Memory mattered to early modern Europeans as much as it does to us, and partly for the same reasons. Between 1500 and 1800 European memory practices changed. There were new and more ways of mediating memories, the subject matter of public memories evolved to include more secular forms of political memory, and towards the end of this period the authority of the past had to vie with new notions of civility and progress. This was, however, neither a cause nor a consequence of a newly discovered ‘sense of change’. Although the age of revolutions was experienced as a form of rupture, this did not lead to a lasting transformation of memory. As they had done before, Europeans bridged the distance between past and present by reimagining the past to suit the present, and old and new ways of practising memory have continued to exist side by side.
