Aging in Slavic Literatures

Essays in Literary Gerontology

In Slavic studies, aging and old age have thus far been only marginal concerns. This volume brings together the scattered research that has been done up to now on aging as represented and narrated in Slavic literatures. The essays investigate Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene and Ukrainian representations of age/aging in various literary genres and epochs and analyze age as a powerful marker of difference and as constitutive of social relations and personal identity.

»Dagmar Gramshammer-Hohls edited collection of essays [...] is an extremely valuable study that engages in lucid critical inquiry of the theme of aging across a rich section of traditions, historical and cultural universes and valorizes complex, positive and non-stereotypical representations.«
Domnica Radulescu, Slavic Review, Sommer 2019

»Der Herausgeberin ist es [...] zweifellos gelungen, für eine Vielzahl slawischer Literaturen in diversen diachronen Schnitten Beiträge zur Problematik des Alter(n)s zusammenzustellen, die durchgehend ein hohes wissenschaftliches Niveau aufweisen.«
