Reviews
Aging is a missing trope in contemporary literary theory," the editors contend here: "Anglo-American literary criticism, like the society from which it springs, until recently has been uncritically ageist." These 17 essays, emphasizing "the intersection of gender with age," seek to show how aging affects literary creativity and examine how individual writing careers took off after middle age. The editors trace their theories with varying degrees of insight in the careers of Sarton, Bogen, Swift, Woolf, Bowen, Montherlant, Colette, and others. The essays generally find that writers, as one says of aging poets, "use their fears deliberately and creatively. Their works embody the fact that we all, as we age, tally our losses, remember what has passed, think of our personal histories, our families, our unfinished business. -- Library Journal, Aging is a missing trope in contemporary literary theory," the editors contend here: "Anglo-American literary criticism, like the society from which it springs, until recently has been uncritically ageist."
