1 Book Review : The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food Alison Vincent , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: The Australasian Journal of Popular Culture , September vol. 8 no. 2 2019; (p. 261-264)
— Review of The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food 2018 anthology criticism 'The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food is not another of those anthologies that brings together extracts and examples of literary references to food. It is instead a collection of original research aimed at exploring and expanding the understanding of how food is used in literature. As the editors make clear in the introduction, their intention in this volume is not to present ‘an exhaustive or definitive discussion of topics, literary forms or modes, or genres’ (4), such a task might be almost impossible, but rather to provide a snapshot of the scholarship relating to food and literature, to demonstrate ‘the variety of lenses through which the function of food in literature may be viewed’ (2) and showcase the many literary forms, both fiction and non-fiction, that deal with food.'
