Beskrivelse
This volume of essays surveys gastronomy across globalliterary modernisms. Modernists explore public and domestic spaces wherefood and drink are prepared and served, as much as they create them in themodernist imagination through narrative, language, verse,and style. Modernism as a cultural and artistic movement alsohighlights the historical politics of food and eating. As the chapters in Gastro-Modernism reveal,critical trends in food studies alert us to many social concerns that emerge inthe modernist period because of expanding food literacy and culture.Theresult is that food production, consumption, and scarcity are abiding themes inmodernist literature and culture, reflecting tensions amidst colonial,agricultural, and industrial settings. This timely volume ultimately shows howglobal literary modernisms engage with food culture known as gastronomy toexpress anxieties about modernity as much as to celebrate the excesses modernlifestyles produce.
