Troyansky -- Rêverie and late writing : from the exemplary Montaigne to Rousseau and Baudelaire / Margery Vibe Skagen -- "By nature led" : old age in William Wordsworth's poem "Old man travelling" / Peter Svare Valeur -- Ageing and creativity in Goethe's last works / Charlotte Lee -- Senescence at the Russian fin-de-siècle : on the ageless and the ageing self of Lev Tolstoy / Lillian Jorunn Helle -- Taking care of the self : ageing in Oscar Wilde's The picture of Dorian Gray / Michael Mack -- Thomas Hardy and the question of senescence / Emanuela Ettorre and Adrian Tait -- "I do not write a life" : Hamsun, psychiatry and life narrative / Svein Atle Skålevåg -- Solitude and senescence : May Sarton's sense of an ending / George Rousseau -- French female literary milestones in the history of ageing / Martine Boyer-Weinmann -- "Je suis vieux et très contemporain" : old age and modernity in the works of Michel Houellebecq / Agathe Novak-Lechevalier -- Elderly people's homes in contemporary literature : a new old world by Mariusz Sieniewicz / Hanna Serkowska -- An ageing woman's dilemma : the varieties of silence in Merethe Lindstrøm's novel Days in the history of silence / Nora Simonhjel. "Drawing on 16th- to 21st-century American, British, French, German, Polish, Norwegian and Russian literature and philosophy, this collection teases out culturally specific conceptions of old age as well as subjective constructions of late-life identity and selfhood. The internationally known humanistic gerontologist Jan Baars, the prominent historian of old age David Troyansky, and the distinguished cultural historian and pioneer in the field of literature and science George Rousseau join a team of literary historians who trace out the interfaces between their chosen texts and the respective periods' medical and gerontological knowledge. The chapters' in-depth analyses of major and less known works demonstrate the rich potential of fiction, poetry and autobiographical writing in the construction of a cultural history of senescence. These literary examples not only bear witness to longue durée representations of old age, and epochal transitions regarding cultural attitudes to the aged; they also foreground the subjectivities who produced some of these representations and who continue to communicate with readers of other times and places.

    I "Take me to neverland" stiller forfatteren lidt drillende den kulturelle diagnose "voksenfobi". Det er noget mange af os, hende selv inklusive, lider af: En blanding af længsel efter det der er flydende, modvilje mod normative regler og konformitet og samtidig en søgen efter den mening og stabilitet, vi mener det såkaldte voksenliv så alligevel må kunne tilbyde. Camilla Schwartz fremlæser denne voksenfobiske problemstilling i samtidslitteraturen ved hjælp af nedslag i motiver som køn, kærlighed, klasse og feminisme - i dialog med andre kulturelle eksempler som film, mode og tv. Diagnosen voksenfobi stilles ikke for at sygeliggøre de unge forfattere m.fl. eller for den sags skyld for at få os alle sammen til at blive meget mere voksne og fornuftige - fordi alting var meget bedre i gamle dage. Tværtimod opfordrer bogen til at vi lytter til de unge litterære stemmer der skriver om at være bange for det voksne liv, eller som både sårbart, kækt og modigt insisterer på at forblive i barndommen og ungdommen - eller som længes tilbage mod det tabte. Voksenfobien og dens implikationer skal mest af alt forstås som opråb der kan læses som væsentlige kulturelle tegn på vores kultur. Tegn der måske kan lede til en revision af det frygtindgydende noget vi kalder "voksendom".

    "The rapid onset of dementia after an illness, the development of gray hair after a traumatic loss, the sudden appearance of a wrinkle in the brow of a spurned lover. The realist novel uses these conventions to accelerate the process of aging into a descriptive moment, writing the passage of years on the body all at once. Aging, Duration and the English Novel argues that the formal disappearance of aging from the novel parallels the ideological pressure to identify as young by repressing the process of growing old. The construction of aging as a shameful event that should be hidden - to improve one's chances on the job market or secure a successful marriage - corrensponds to the rise of the long novel, which draws upon the temporality of the body to map progress and decline onto the plots o nineteenth-century British modernity."

    "Drawing on 16th- to 21st-century American, British, French, German, Polish, Norwegian and Russian literature and philosophy, this collection teases out culturally specific conceptions of old age as well as subjective constructions of late-life identity and selfhood. The internationally known humanistic gerontologist Jan Baars, the prominent historian of old age David Troyansky, and the distinguished cultural historian and pioneer in the field of literature and science George Rousseau join a team of literary historians who trace out the interfaces between their chosen texts and the respective periods' medical and gerontological knowledge. The chapters' in-depth analyses of major and less known works demonstrate the rich potential of fiction, poetry and autobiographical writing in the construction of a cultural history of senescence. These literary examples not only bear witness to longue durée representations of old age, and epochal transitions regarding cultural attitudes to the aged; they also foreground the subjectivities who produced some of these representations and who continue to communicate with readers of other times and places.
