Beschreibung

Dementia is an urgent global concern. Creative writers can offer powerful and imaginative insights into the experience of dementia across cultures and over time. This volume explores how engaging with dementia through its myriad literary representations can help to deepen and humanize attitudes to people living with the condition.
