Imagining Ageing
Representations of Age and Ageing in Anglophone Literatures

What do literary texts tell us about growing old? 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.
