Morning, Noon, and Night: Growing Up and Growing Old With Literature

"From Homer and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Jonathan Safran Foer, major works of literature have a great deal to teach us about two of life's most significant stages—growing up and growing old. Distinguised scholar Arnold Weinstein's provocative and engaging new book, Morning, Noon, and Night, explores classic writing's insights into coming-of-age and surrendering to time...."

This challenge is a list of the main works discussed by Weinstein in his book & includes several plays and films. (Weinstein is the Edna and Richard Salomon Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature at Brown University.)
