Aging, Duration, and the English Novel. Growing Old from Dickens to Woolf, New ed, Paperback/Jacob (Newcastle University) Jewusiak

This book argues that the realist novel compresses the duration of aging into descriptive intervals, constructing senescence as a shameful event to be hidden. It will appeal to students and researchers of nineteenth-century literature and culture, the Victorian novel and to those with an interest in representations of age in literature.
