This volume explores the intersection between culinary history and literature across a period of profound social and cultural change.

| Synopsis: |
This volume explores the intersection between culinary history and literature across a period of profound social and cultural change. Split into three parts, essays focus on the food scandals of the early Victorian era, the decadence and greed of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and the effects of austerity caused by two world wars. Contributors show that studying consumption is necessary for a full understanding of class, gender and national identity. The works of writers such as Elizabeth Gaskell, Edward Lear, Mrs Beeton and Agatha Christie are considered alongside government treatises, advice manuals and advertising to provide an innovative work that will be of interest to scholars of social, cultural and medical history as well as literary studies. |
