Images of Older People in Western Art and Society Book

How older people have been perceived during various periods of history from the Middle Ages to the 19th century is the focus of this heavily illustrated study of the elderly in Western society. Covey presents a wide range of portrayals of the elderly in both art and literature and goes on to analyze, in detail, the images and symbols of aging, sexuality, family, and death found in these depictions. His analyses of the works reflect a variety of disciplines, including the fine arts, gerontology, history, sociology, psychology, and literature. This book increases our consciousness of images of older people in Western history by debunking common images and providing background on how current images and perceptions have developed.Read More
