Description

This scholarly collection examines how ageing is portrayed across centuries of literature and philosophy, drawing on texts from sixteenth to twenty-first century American, British, French, German, Polish, Norwegian and Russian sources. Edited by renowned humanistic gerontologist Jan Baars, historian David Troyansky, and distinguished cultural historian George Rousseau, the volume explores culturally specific conceptions of old age and subjective constructions of late-life identity. Literary historians analyse the interfaces between canonical texts and the representation of senescent selfhood, uncovering how different cultures construct myths, plots and metaphors surrounding ageing. Part of the Routledge Studies in Cultural History series, this book offers comprehensive insights into how literature and philosophy shape our understanding of ageing across diverse traditions and time periods, making it essential reading for scholars of gerontology, cultural history, and literary studies.
