Reviews
'The literary food history in these books offers a slice of life.' Times Literary Supplement '...this collection of essays is a veritable feast for the early modernist, and its main contribution to scholarship is its revelation of the possibilities offered by sustained studies of this most basic of social, cultural signifiers.' Notes and Queries 'This collection is a welcome addition to the growing body of literary scholarship focusing on diet, cookery, and eating rituals. ... The volume contain[s] essays of potential interest to food historians and scholars of French literature, and Renaissance Food's recognition of the significance of interdisciplinary exchange and research is an important step towards furthering their pursuit. Indeed, the best essays herein draw attention to food's wide-ranging affinity with topics such as gender, economics, medicine, natural history, and nationhood.' Renaissance Quarterly '... the collection draws together a burgeoning area of interest, written for scholars who are interested in ideas about early modern food and diet. It is, then, a signpost work which pieces together the preliminary ideas and findings of research into this uncovered historiography.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'In sum, all the articles present here have their own distinctiveness and flavour, and virtually all are accompanied by extensive bibliographies, so the volume would be an excellent starting-point for further research.' International Committee on the History of Technology
