-- 8. Down the Alimentary Canal: Food, Digestion and Disgust -- Conclusion: Go to
Work on an Egg ; This book concerns itself with two sorts of foods: the real and the
imagined, and with their continually shifting relationship. This important new book
is the first systematic study of the literature of food from the nineteenth century
to the present, covering a wide range of issues including the politics of food, food
as performance, and its intersections with gender, class, disgust and erotics. Combining
the insights of food studies and literary analysis, the author demonstrates how the
reading of food within texts can illuminate our reading of food outside them. Carefully
designed and structured for use on the growing number of literature of food courses,
it considers the food of modernism, post-modernism, crime fiction, the realist novel
and children's literature, and asks what happens when we treat cook books as literary
texts
