The Shady Side of Fifty Age and Old Age in Late
Victorian Canada and the United States
Sinopsis
Concerns about aging, old age security, and
intergenerational relations existed long before
youth culture and falling fertility became such
popular media topics. Lisa Dillon uses an
examination of the censuses of Canada and the
U.S. to break new ground by integrating
statistical analyses of the historical data with
a discourse analysis of ideas about age and old
age. In The Shady Side of Fifty she explores the
psychological, social, and economic dimensions
of aging during a period of socio-economic and
demographic change that mirrors the present day.
Dillon uses the census as both a qualitative
document and a source of quantitative data and
also draws on diaries and letters to show how
subtle shifts in the living arrangements of the
elderly, decreasing intergenerational
interdependence, and the advent of retirement
and the empty nest changed the trajectory of old
age during 1870-1901. The Shady Side of Fifty
analyses these social shifts to reveal two
different kinds of age anxiety facing a new
decade and dealing with extreme old age.
