Andrea Adolph

Food and Femininity in Twentieth-Century British Women's Fiction (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Examining female characters in Barbara Pym, Angela Carter, Helen Dunmore, Helen Fielding, and Rachel Cusk, Andrea Adolph focuses on how women's relationships to food are used to locate women's embodiment within the everyday and reveal the writers resistance to the traditional mind-body duality. Periodicals, housekeeping and cooking manuals, and other cultural artifacts inform Adolph's study of how women's social and cultural roles are intricately connected to issues of food and food consumption.
