The essays in this volume introduce and explore representations of ageing and old age in canonical works of English and postcolonial literature. The contributors examine texts by William Shakespeare, Daniel Defoe, Julian Barnes, Thomas Kinsella, Seamus Heaney, J.M. Coetzee, Alice Munro, Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace and, together with a medical study, they suggest solutions to the challenges arising from the current demographic change brought about by ageing Western populations. 330 1 $aBesprochen in: Journal of Irish Studies, 9 (2019) 410 0$aAging studies ;$vVolume 18. 606 $aOld age in literature 610 $aAging Studies. 610 $aAging. 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aEnglish Literature. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aGeneral Literature Studies. 610 $aGeriatrics. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedicine. 610 $aWorld Literature. 615 0$aOld age in literature. 676 $a809.93354 686 $aHG 431$qBSZ$2rvk 702 $aConcilio$b Carmen 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2019: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996328034103316 996 $aImagining Ageing$92188709 997 $aUNISA
