Do patterns of friendship change as people get older? How are the friendships of older people affected by their life histories? This book is based on the oral testimony of 63 elderly people who, in the course of relating their life stories, told of their friendships from childhood to old age. Friendships Through the Life Course provides conceptual insight into a neglected field -- the meaning and process of friendship in the context of people's lives. It also demonstrates the importance of looking at individuals, particularly elderly people, within a biographical framework.Matthews, Sarah H. is the author of 'Friendships through the Life Course: Oral Biographies in Old Age', published 1986 under ISBN 9780803926417 and ISBN 0803926413.
