- catalog abstract ""This book reflects the growing interest within gerontology in fictional representations of older age. It is about stories of ageing - full-length novels with central characters who are in the later part of life (50+) and experiencing the process of ageing as they move into older age. The book draws on symbolic interactionism for its main themes and centres around popular fiction that is widely read and easily available. Ranging from Agatha Christie through to Penelope Lively and Joanna Trollope, it shows how the novel can be a useful source of information about ways we all make sense of growing old. It looks at characters' personal experience of ageing, and the tensions between this and social attitudes towards them." "Stories of Ageing is a book combining sociological analysis, literature and a gerontological agenda. It opens up fiction as a resource for anyone interested in the process of growing old and is essential reading for all students, researchers and practitioners in the field."--Jacket.".
