Abstract
The Aesthetics of Senescence: Aging, Population, and the 19th-Century British Novel constitutes a thorough study of the evolution of the biopolitics (a theoretical framing that places the biological life of individuals at the center, engaging with it as a political problem) of older age and its literary representations. It offers a highly relevant contribution to scholars of age studies, health humanities, and literary studies of the nineteenth century. Charise's work on age as a category of analysis fits within a larger body of scholarship in age studies, concerned with issues attached to the construction, evolution, self-reflection, and self-(re)presentation of identity (see Crossley; Gullette; Henneberg; Looser; Yallop). It explores the ways in which nineteenthcentury British literature allows authors to reflect -and influencecontemporary perceptions of older age from an intellectual, social, and demographic standpoint and investigates how novelists consider population within society as a (bio)political problem. With her background in geriatric health research and her role as a major contributor to the development of the field of health humanities -she has developed the first undergraduate program in health humanities in Canada and is the founding editor of the "Studies in Health Humanities" book series (2020-present) -Charise brings together literary critical analysis, age studies, gender studies, and health studies in her assessment, in what is a fruitful, interdisciplinary approach.
