Currently, the conceptualisation of the relations between literature and memory is very diverse. It can be studied on the background of intertextuality, topics, canon, metaphor, and/or from the perspective of the question how to construct the memories as a narrative. A link between literature and time plays an important role, especially in autobiographic memory. A systemic theory, cognitive psychology, gender studies and media studies belong to the latest theoretical approaches concerned with literature and memory. Contemporary interdisciplinary memory research deals with the following question: to what extent can the examined phenomena be classified? Because of this, my paper has a systemic nature. It evaluates the link between literature and memory on the background of three concepts: memory of literature, memory in literature and literature as a medium of memory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
