Abstract

Modernist ecologies and the food politics of empire --Industrial dairying, the pastoral, and Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles --Food chains and refrigerated time in E. M. Forster's Howards End --Wartime rationing and Virginia Woolf 's aesthetic ecologies --Joseph Conrad and the metabolism of empire --Famine, food sovereignty, and the Irish literary revival --Coda : "From a morning world" "From farm to form: modernism, ecology, and the food politics of empire investigates the relationship between the rise of industrial food and the emergence of literary modernisms in Britain and Ireland. By weaving insights from modernist studies, food studies, and ecocriticism together, Farm to form contends that industrial food production transformed the natural world into a "modernist" terrain that shaped new literary forms, positioning modernism as central to the study of narratives of resistance against social and environmental degradation"

Abstract

As the first book-length study to bring the fields of modernism and food studies together, Modernism and Food Studies anchors the burgeoning field of modernist food studies. This volume collects theoretically and methodologically diverse essays that investigate modernist representations of food, broadly treated in phases from production to distribution and consumption. By exploring the profound relationship between modernist aesthetics and the new food cultures of modernity, Modernism and Food Studies uncovers new links between seemingly disparate spaces, cultures, and artistic media in a globalizing world.
