Fundamentals of medieval and early modern culture 2
Anmerkung:
Includes bibliographical references and index. - Biographical note: Albrecht Classen, University ofArizona, Tucson, USA.. - Main description: This volume treats old age and old people as reflected in medieval and early modern literature, historical documents, and visual products, offering innovative perspectives, examining hitherto neglected texts and art works, and taking stock of previous research. With this volume Old Age Studies pertaining to the Middle Ages and the early modern world can claim to have established a solid scholarly profile, adding new layers of meaning in our investigation of the culture and history of premodern mentality. - Review text: "A collection of this nature is more than the sum of its parts. The closely argued and detailed evidence of each contribution provides stimulating cross-currents, carefully marshalled by the Introduction to give a valuable resource for further work on Old Age Studies."Rosalind Field in: Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen 2/2009 "This is a stimulating and often fascinating assembly of viewpoints and material that will justly elicit and provoke further research and reflection."Robert G. Sullivan in: Monatshefte 4/2008
