More about the book
Exploring the portrayal of aging in Irish literature, this book examines works by notable authors such as Elizabeth Bowen and Anne Enright through a gerontological lens. It addresses themes like the struggle against time, the narrative of decline, and the experiences of solitary versus communal aging, including dementia. The analysis of the evolving depiction of older individuals in Irish short stories highlights the relevance of the subject in light of Ireland's changing demographics, making it a significant contribution to literary gerontology.
