Fiction of Old Age in Early Modern Literature and Culture is a new and timely exploration of the issues and circumstances at work in representations of old age in the early modern period. It deals with both factual and literary material drawn from a range of genres as a means of rounding out the experience of growing old and aims to give readers a sense of the diversity involved in the theorising, politics and gendering of old age and ageing.
Nina Taunton is Senior Lecturer in English at Brunel University. She is author of 1590s Drama and Militarism: Portrayals of War in Marlowe, Chapman and Shakespeare's Henry V and coeditor with Darryll Grantley of The Body in Medieval and Early Modern Culture.
