Aging Well: A Literary History on Aging and Ageism

Recorded: Wednesday, November 29, 2023 Find all upcoming Museum at Eldridge Street programming at https://www.eldridgestreet.org/events. Dr. Michael Nevins joins us for a literary review about how writers through the ages have viewed the process of aging and its consequences — for better or for worse. “Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.” -Job 12:12 “If there were no old men, there would be no civilized states at all.” -Cicero, On Old Age “Warm baths, good food, soft sleep, and generous wine. These are the rights of age, and should be thine.” -Homer, The Odyssey “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.” -Robert Browning, Rabbi Ben Ezra “It ain't over ’til it’s over.” -Yogi Berra Everyone seems to have an opinion about old age and suggestions abound about how to maintain cognitive and physical health — in effect, how to age well. In this discussion, we will be reviewing the literary history of aging through the years. Dr. Michael Nevins is a retired internist-cardiologist who practiced for nearly four decades in Northern New Jersey. He grew up in the Bronx, graduated from Dartmouth College and Tufts Medical School and was active in bioethics, geriatrics, and medical education.
