Edible Arrangements

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the intersection of modernist literature and food studies, Elizabeth Blake examines how modernist writers depict the pleasure of eating as a reflection of queerness. She argues that this queer consumption influences and reshapes literary forms, challenging traditional genres. By analyzing a diverse array of authors, including Richard Bruce Nugent, Virginia Woolf, and Katherine Mansfield, Blake reveals how their writings unsettle norms surrounding bodily pleasure and genre conventions, ultimately expanding the understanding of both modernist literature and queer theory.
