by KarenChase (Author)
This book studies the social and literary conditions which helped construct the experience of old age in the Victorian period. Taking exemplary texts and situating them within relevant cultural episodes, the book recreates the drama of the aged struggling for rights and recognition in a world that would have preferred to grant invisibility.
