520    The Journey of Life envisions growing up and growing old 
       as a voyage down a river flowing inexorably to the sea. 
       With this image of the human life cycle, the author 
       explores the historical shoreline of later life, charting 
       its cultural forms and sounding their depths. The result 
       is both a cultural history of aging and a contribution to 
       public dialogue about the meaning and significance of 
       later life. The core of the book shows how central texts 
       and images of Northern. 
520    middle-class culture, first in Europe and then in America,
       created and sustained specifically modern images of the 
       life course between the Reformation and World War I. 
       During this long period, secular, scientific, and 
       individualist tendencies steadily eroded ancient and 
       medieval understandings of aging as a mysterious part of 
       the eternal order of things. Old age was removed from its 
       ambiguous place in life's journey, rationalized, and 
       redefined as a scientific problem. 
520    In the last quarter of the twentieth century, however, 
       postmodern images of life's journey offer a renewed 
       awareness of the spiritual dimensions of later life and 
       new opportunities for growth in an aging society.
