Summary
Georges Minois: A History of Old Age
From Antiquity to the Renaissance
Simone de Beauvoir thought it was impossible to write a history of old age. The work you are about to read - and which will be continued in the second volume - brilliantly proves her wrong. Georges Minois's book is an unusual achievement, and I wonder how this young historian, the author of a truly monumental thesis on the diocese of Tregje from the 15th to the 18th century, could find time to study in detail the huge documentation he used for this History of the Age, which closely follows the research work and the writing of his thesis... The huge fresco presented to us contains unusual aspects: I mean new interpretations that will surprise or provoke discussions. Georges Minois particularly challenges the thesis that old people in the Middle Ages were in a large minority and did not play an important role in medieval society.
