The Literature of Food delves into the captivating exploration of the intricate relationship between two distinct categories of food: the real and the imagined. With a particular focus on Britain and North America from the early 19th century to the present, this comprehensive study encompasses a wide range of topics, including the politics of food, food as performance, and its profound intersections with gender, class, fear, and disgust. By seamlessly blending the insights of food studies and literary analysis, author Nicola Humble offers a thought-provoking examination of the multifaceted ways in which food both functions and plays within literary texts. The book is meticulously designed and structured to cater to the increasing demand of literature of food courses, offering a comprehensive examination of food in modernism, post-modernism, realism, children's literature, and even the treatment of cookbooks as literary texts.
Through its meticulous exploration, The Literature of Food unveils that food is always more complex and enigmatic than we could ever imagine. From the poignant memoirs of food experiences to the evolving role of servants, experimental cookbooks to the unsettling cannibalistic fears depicted in infant picture books, this book serves as a testament to the rich and diverse tapestry of food-related themes in literature. By delving into the depths of human emotions, societal norms, and cultural traditions, The Literature of Food provides a fresh perspective on the significance of food in our lives and its profound impact on our understanding of the world.
