MACMILLAN Palgrave Handbook of Literature and Aging - Macmillan Book

The Palgrave Handbook of Literature and Aging provides an extensive survey of the expanding field of literary age studies. Published by Macmillan, this volume serves as a guide to current scholarly research and emerging academic directions. The content is organized into four distinct sections that reflect modern academic conversations: intersections and intersectionalities, traveling concepts, methodological innovations, and archival inquiries. This handbook covers a wide range of critical approaches used by scholars in the field. Readers can explore how literary age studies connect with environmental studies, postcolonial theory, critical race theory, and queer studies. While the text maintains a focus on traditional close reading, it expands the scope of literary criticism to include diverse perspectives and new methodologies. This book is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between literature and the experience of aging.
