"Eating in Theory draws on snapshots of eating practices to shift a range of fundamental intellectual reflexes. The terms that shape current social science and humanities theorizing are marked by a hierarchical version of "the human" in which thinking is celebrated and eating is demoted to a mundane necessity. However much sense this may have made in the past, it works poorly in a time of ecological crisis. Drawing on ethnographic research into eating practices in the Netherlands, Eating in Theory re-thinks the core theory terms being, knowing, doing and relating. These are no longer external, distant, centered and companionable, but entangled, transformative, spread out and suspended between fostering and devouring"

In Edible Arrangements, Elizabeth Blake explores the way modernist writing about eating delves into larger questions about bodily and literary pleasure. Drawing on insights from the field of food studies, she makes dual interventions into queer theory and modernist studies: first, locating an embrace of queerness within modernist depictions of the pleasure of eating, and second, showing how this queer consumption shapes modernist notions of literary form, expanding and reshaping conventional genres. Drawing from a promiscuous archive that cuts across boundaries of geography and canonicity, Blake demonstrates how modernist authors draw on this consuming queerness to restructure a range of literary forms. Each chapter constellates a set of seemingly disparate writers working in related modes-such as the satirical writings of Richard Bruce Nugent, Virginia Woolf, and Katherine Mansfield-in order to demonstrate how writing about eating can both unsettle the norms of bodily pleasure and those of genre itself.

David B. Goldstein argues for a new understanding of Renaissance England from the perspective of communal eating. Rather than focus on traditional models of interiority, choice and consumption, Goldstein demonstrates that eating offered a central paradigm for the ethics of community formation. The book examines how sharing food helps build, demarcate and destroy relationships - between eater and eaten, between self and other, and among different groups. Tracing these eating relations from 1547 to 1680 - through Shakespeare, Milton, religious writers and recipe book authors - Goldstein shows that to think about eating was to engage in complex reflections about the body's role in society. In the process, he radically rethinks the communal importance of the Protestant Eucharist. Combining historicist literary analysis with insights from social science and philosophy, the book's arguments reverberate well beyond the Renaissance. Ultimately, Eating and Ethics in Shakespeare's England forces us to rethink our own relationship to food.
