Inhaltsangabe

As the 'grey market' perpetuates the quest for eternal youth, the biological realities of old age are increasingly denied. Ageing and Popular Culture traces changing images of ageing to argue that the rise of consumer culture has coincided with a postmodern broadening of options for those in the Third Age.
