This book engages with ageing masculinities in Irish literature and
visual culture, including fiction, drama, poetry, painting, and
documentary. Exploring the shifting representations of older men
from the early twentieth century to the present, the contributors
analyse how a broad range of literary and visual texts construct,
reinscribe, or challenge perceptions of older age. In doing so,
they trace a shift from depictions of authority figures - often
symbolising patriarchal dominance and oppression - to more nuanced,
complex, and heterogeneous explorations of older men's embodied
subjectivities and vulnerabilities. Exploring artists and writers
such as Sean Keating, J.M. Synge, Teresa Deevy, Marina Carr, Seamus
Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Derek Mahon, Kate O'Brien, John Banville,
Colm Toibin, Bernard MacLaverty, Mike McCormack, Anne Griffin, and
Claire Keegan, the chapters in this book attend to the symbolic as
well as social significance of older men in Irish cultural
expression.
