Later years are changing under the impact of demographic, social and cultural shifts. No longer confined to the sphere of social welfare, they are now studied within a wider cultural framework that encompasses new experiences and new modes of being. Drawing on influences from the arts and humanities, and deploying diverse methodologies - visual, literary, spatial - and theoretical perspectives Cultural Gerontology has brought new aspects of later life into view. This major new publication draws together these currents including: Theory and Methods; Embodiment; Identities and Social Relationships; Consumption and Leisure; and Time and Space. Based on specially commissioned chapters by leading international authors, the Routledge Handbook of Cultural Gerontology will provide concise authoritative reviews of the key debates and themes shaping this exciting new field.

Julia Twigg is Professor of Social Policy and Sociology at the University of Kent, UK. She has written widely on the body and age. In 2006 she published The Body in Health and Social Care, building on earlier work on personal care, Bathing - the Body and Community Care, and informal carers. She is currently working on dress and age. She has been involved in the recent international conferences of Cultural Gerontology. She is on the editorial boards of Ageing & Society, Journal of Aging Studies and International Journal of Ageing and Later Life.

Wendy Martin is a Senior Lecturer in the College of Health and Life Sciences, Brunel University London, UK.
