- The Midlife Crisis: A History is based on extensive research carried out between 2013 and 2019. In addition to archival material in the Clara Thomas Archives at York University, Toronto, the Mass Observation Archive at The Keep, University of Sussex, and the libraries and archival collections of the Wellcome Library and Royal College of General Practitioners in London, the arguments in this 100,000 word book rest on a substantial body of primary source material including newspaper and magazine articles, literary and cinematic sources, and a wide variety of self-help literature and scientific and clinical journals in Britain and America.
