This book draws on the diaries of 68 men and women aged 70 and above, capturing their thoughts and experiences over the following months. Although these older diarists considered themselves among the more fortunate at the time, their entries reveal both highs and lows. There were anxieties and frustrations but also much positivity and, often, a reluctance for an over-hasty return to pre-pandemic times.
Through these personal and contemporaneous accounts, the book offers a unique contribution to our understanding of the pandemic and its significance in modern social history.
Reviews / Votes
"Nicola Madge's vivid portrait of the lives of older middle-class people during the pandemic offers valuable lessons for the post-Covid present and rich insight for the future social historian." Helen McCarthy, University of Cambridge "Through contemporary diaries, this book gives a vivid account of the receiving end of UK COVID-19 pandemic management, and the contributors' strategies for surviving its social, emotional and psychological absurdities." Robert Dingwall, Emeritus Professor, Nottingham Trent UniversityMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
