Description

Explore the intersection of culinary culture and literary expression with Literature and Food Studies from Routledge. This volume introduces readers to a growing interdisciplinary field by examining how literary genres and cultural movements engage with the edible world. By analyzing the relationship between food and text, the book provides insights into transnational histories of empire, domesticity, scientific innovation, and environmental changes. Focusing on the Americas and Europe, the text compares significant works of imaginative literature. From classical foundations like Ovid's Metamorphoses and Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale to modern masterpieces such as James Joyce's Ulysses and Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, this study connects high literature with vernacular literary practices. It is an essential resource for those interested in how food serves as a lens to understand environmental transformation and social history through a literary perspective.
