"And Yet I Remember" explores representations of ageing and old age
in English drama from 1660 to the 1750s. Within these approximately
ninety years, England witnessed significant developments in
medicine and the advent of sentimental philosophy, which began to
transform attitudes toward old age and ageing. This study discusses
the enduring cultural and literary stereotyping of old(er) people
in culture and drama of this period. The chapters are organised
around the stereotypes that kept reappearing in cultural, medical
and religious narratives on old age, namely the desiring old man
(senex amans) and woman (the "lusty old widow") and the nostalgic
and wise elder. Exploring many diverse storylines between 1660 and
the 1750s that treat old age and present old(er) characters, the
analyses in this study further show how the choice of genre,
personal experiences and attitudes of the playwright, and political
and cultural revolutions affected the representation of older
people.
