Reviews
“Food and the Literary Imagination also enables a different and sometimes a startling understanding of our concepts of literary as well as of commodity production. … it is a surprisingly engaging read, written with clarity, ease and obvious passion. It is a timely and provocative alternative view of canonical texts and contexts which should prove an invaluable resource for historical and literary ecocritics.” (Sue Edney, Green Letters, Vol. 20 (1), 2016)
