Synopsis

A study of common and exotic food in Shakespeare's plays, this book is the first to explore early modern English dietary literature to understand better the uses, as well as the social and moral implications, of food in Shakespearean drama. Food in Shakespeare provides an historically accurate account of the range of, and conflicts between, contemporary ideas that informed the representations of foodstuff in the plays.
