- This 150,000-word monograph covers the broad topic of the literature of food across two centuries, with a world-wide geographical focus (particularly emphasising the Anglophone), and a multidisciplinary approach which draws on history, sociology, anthropology, cultural and food studies. Food literature is considered from a wide range of historical, generic, and affective viewpoints. The project represents a sustained period of research and covers a significant number of authors. It constructs a canon of intensely food-focussed texts and grounds them in a rich field of writing in genres as diverse as children’s picture books, memoirs, cookbooks, experimental literature, journalism and polemic.
