This volume provides readers with a timely study of inter-generational conflicts and crises as seen through the eyes of male and female British and Irish playwrights from the medieval period to the twenty-first century. The contributions suggest that at the heart of inter-generational discord lies various crises between (the) age(d) and youth or, more generally, the idea of what is «old» and «new». The interaction and co-existence of age and youth in their embodied, symbolic or conceptual forms is the topic of this volume. The collection is built around the words «age(d)»\/«young», which denote both the biological age of the characters and the more conceptual potential of these terms. Ultimately, the contributors to this collection of essays analyse not only the idea of inter-generationality within selected dramatic works but also inter-generational conflicts seen in clashes of cultures, artistic visions, concepts and aesthetic idea(l)s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS: Jamie Beckett: Fergus and the Virgin in Late Medieval York: Spectators and Inter-Generational Conflict – Nizar Zouidi: «My Father is Deceas’d»: Kingship, Patriarchy and Inter-Generational Conflicts in \u003ci\u003eEdward II \u003c\/i\u003eby Christopher Marlowe – Murat Oğutcu: Of Fathers and Sons: Inter-Generational and Intrafamilial Loyalties and Conflict in Shakespeare’s Elizabethan History Plays – Ozge Ozkan-Gurcu: Once upon a Time Admired, Now Disregarded: Paternal Anguish and Loss of Authority with Old Age in \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003cem\u003eKing Lear \u003c\/em\u003e– Katarzyna Bronk-Bacon: Lessons on Age(ing): Inter-Generational and Intrafamilial Conflict in Thomas Shadwell’s \u003ci\u003eThe Squire of Alsatia\u003c\/i\u003e, Susanna Centlivre’s \u003ci\u003eLove at a Venture \u003c\/i\u003eand James Miller’s \u003cem\u003eThe Man of Taste \u003c\/em\u003e– Maire MacNeill: Fashionable Confrontations: Decoding \u003cem\u003eThe Conscious Lovers \u003c\/em\u003e– Jess Hamlet: «Not of an Age, but for All Time»: Intergenerational Reflections of Shakespeare in Civil War Virginia – Wei H.
