520 $aShakespeare was acutely aware of our struggles with aging. His dramatic characters either prosper or suffer according to their relationship with maturity, and his sonnets explore time's ravaging effects. "Wrinkled deep in time" is how the queen describes herself in Antony and Cleopatra, and at the end of King Lear, there is a tragic sense that both the king and Gloucester have acquired a wisdom they otherwise lacked at the beginning of the play. Even Juliet matures considerably before she drinks Friar Lawrence's potion, and Macbeth and his wife prematurely grow old from their murderous schemes. This book investigates patterns of aging in Shakespeare, exploring the fulfillment or distress of Shakespeare's characters in combination with their mental and physical decline. Comparing the characterizations of elderly kings and queens, older lovers, patriarchal men, matriarchal women, and the senex--the stereotypical old man of Roman comedy--with the history of life expectancy in Shakespeare's England, the book uncovers similarities and differences between our attitudes toward aging then and now.
