Peter Simonsen is a Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, focusing on European literature and its intersections with culture, particularly relating to older adults and literary gerontology. His research emphasizes the role of literature in the lives of older individuals and the narratives surrounding aging, including themes such as retirement and menopause. He employs an interdisciplinary methodology that integrates empirical methods to explore how literature shapes and reflects the experiences of ordinary readers, particularly those in the 'precariat' and those facing health issues such as dementia. With a strong background in British Romanticism, especially the works of Wordsworth, he engages in narrative medicine, studying the effects of shared reading on well-being in various contexts. His efforts have led to numerous publications and significant participation in academic and public discourse on these critical issues within literature and aging studies.
