The Journey of Life is both a cultural history of aging and a
contribution to public dialogue about the meaning and significance
of later life. The core of the book shows how central texts and
images of Northern middle-class culture, first in Europe and then
in America, created and sustained specifically modern images of the
life course between the Reformation and World War I. During this
long period, secular, scientific and individualist tendencies
steadily eroded ancient and medieval understandings of aging as a
mysterious part of the eternal order of things. In the last quarter
of the twentieth century, however, postmodern images of life's
journey offer a renewed awareness of the spiritual dimensions of
later life and new opportunities for growth in an aging society.
