Old and Alone: A Sociological Study of Old People

By Jeremy Tunstall

Originally published in 1966, this was the first full-length study by a sociologist of isolation in old age. Although the majority of old people were in no sense a problem group at the time, a substantial minority of the elderly were 'alone' in one or more ways. About 1.3 million people aged 65 and over in Britain lived alone.
