Hardback. Condition: Good. America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we're 'over' it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment or athletics we're finished long before. However, younger may be better but it doesn't appear that youngest is best: we want our teachers, doctors, generals and presidents to have reached a certain age. In context after context and contest after contest, we're more than a little conflicted about elders of the tribe; when is it right to honour them, and when to say 'step aside'? In his new book, Nicholas Delbanco, one of America's most formidable scholars, tackles the enigma of 'lastingness,' searching for the answers to the question of why some artists' work diminishes with age and that of others reaches its peak.
