The Bloomsbury Handbook of Solitude, Silence and Loneliness is the first major account integrating research on solitude, silence and loneliness from across academic disciplines and across the lifespan. The editors explore how being alone – in its different forms, positive and negative, as solitude, silence and loneliness – is learned and developed, and how it is experienced in childhood and youth, adulthood and old age. Philosophical, psychological, historical, cultural and religious issues are addressed by distinguished scholars from Europe, North and Latin America, and Asia.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Solitude, Silence and Loneliness

The major strength of the handbook is an inclusive attempt to bring together so many fresh perspectives on these areas in nuances and with thought-provoking complexity ... The book is abounding in rewarding insights and fresh, stimulating contemplations. I highly recommend this work for both academic learning and pleasure reading. * Journal of Silence Studies in Education * This handbook invites us to think about solitude and loneliness in a variety of ways, sometimes converging and sometimes diverging in a very productive and stimulating way. * Noah W. Sobe, Professor of Cultural and Educational Policy Studies, Loyola University Chicago, USA *
