Reviews

'Jacob Jewusiak's Aging, Duration, and the English Novel is a welcome contribution to the burgeoning critical interest in age that the humanities is currently experiencing ... Aging, Duration, and the English Novel successfully demonstrates that scholarly engagement with the category of age can generate interesting new interpretations of well-known works ... [it] makes a valuable contribution not just to literary age studies, but also to ongoing debates within the humanities about the value of recognising age as a master identity on par with gender, race, and class.' Caitlin Doley, BAVS Newsletter '... Jewusiak's book is essential reading for scholars of narrative time, as it establishes provocative discursive ties with some of the best writing on time and the novel in the past twenty years.' Leslie S. Simon, Dickens Quarterly
