520 8  "This wide-ranging study looks at how the ageing process 
       has alternately been figured in and excluded from 
       twentieth-century French literature, philosophy and 
       psychoanalysis. It espouses a critical interdisciplinarity
       and calls into question the assumptions underlying much 
       research into ageing in the social sciences, work in which
       the negative aspects of growing older are almost 
       invariably suppressed. It offers a major reappraisal of 
       Simone de Beauvoir's great but neglected late treatise, La
       Vieillesse, and presents the first substantial discussion 
       of a lost documentary film about old age in which Beauvoir
       appears and which she helped to write, Promenade au Pays 
       de la Vieillesse. Questioning Beauvoir's own rather 
       reductive reading of Gide's work on old age, this study 
       analyses the way in which his Journal and Ainsi soit-il 
       experiment with a range of representational models for the
       senescent subject. The encounter between psychoanalysis 
       and ageing is framed by a reading of Violette Leduc's 
       autobiographical trilogy, in which she suggests that 
       psychoanalysis, to its detriment, simply cannot allow 
       ageing to signify. This claim is tested in a critical 
       survey of recent theoretical and clinical work by 
       psychoanalysts interested in ageing in France, the UK and 
       the US. Lastly, Herve Guibert's recently republished photo
       -novel about his elderly great-aunts, Suzanne et Louise, 
       is examined as a work of intergenerational empathy and is 
       found, in addition, to be an important statement of his 
       photographic aesthetic. Navigating between the extremes of
       fury ('age rage') and serene acceptance ('going gently'), 
       this study aims throughout to examine the role which 
       ageing plays in formal, as well as thematic, terms in 
       writing the life of the subject."--Jacket.
