Dementia and LiteratureInterdisciplinary Perspectives\nAuthor(s): Tess Maginess\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138633476, 978-1138633476\nSynopsis\nDementia is an urgent global concern, often termed a widespread problem, tragedy or burden and a subject best addressed by health and social policy and practice. However, creative writers can offer powerful and imaginative insights into the experience of dementia across cultures and over time. This cross-disciplinary volume explores how engaging with dementia through its myriad literary representations can help to deepen and humanise attitudes to people living with the condition.\n\nOffering and interrogating a wide array of perspectives about how dementia might be imagined, this book allows us to see how different ways of being can inflect one another. By drawing on the lived experience of the individual unique person and their loved ones, literature can contribute.
