Recenzii
This book will be useful to researchers interested in early modern European culture, and it is written in a style that is accessible to undergraduate students, rendering it amenable for classroom use, as well.
[A] wide-ranging and fascinating book that succeeds in providing new perspective on familiar events in European history. One of Kissane's key achievements is demonstrating the ways in which foods and food practices are constitutive and illustrative of religious and gender boundaries. This work is also highly readable and could easily be incorporated into undergraduate teaching.
[Provides] a compelling and readable analysis of the myriad ways in which it is near impossible to understand any aspect of human existence, lived religious beliefs included, without reference to the most fundamental of human activities: eating.
An engaging and informative book that introduces readers to the significant role of food in the social and cultural history of early modern Europe ... its greatest accomplishment is to show how food practices cast light on religion, community, and gender as they were woven into the ordinary daily activities of early modern Europeans. Its readable and engaging style will be of great value in the undergraduate classroom, while its sophistication and scope will appeal to advanced scholars.
The stories in this book, with their wealth of fascinating details, illuminate, with nuance, every aspect of the societies from which they come.
This elegantly written, thoughtfully structured book examines food's fundamental role in early modern religious belief, identity, and community.
Adds something new and very needed in European food history: more archivally researched individual cases to illuminate the great diversity of early modern European cultures.
Richly researched, forcefully argued, and provides ample 'food for thought' ... a welcome, and highly accessible, addition to the field of early modern food studies.
A highly imaginative account of food, faith and society in early modern Europe. Kissane offers a refreshing comparative discussion which is never broad-brushed but richly contextualised. Students will enjoy a stimulating read which makes us think in new ways about religion and culture in the period.
Here is some astounding storytelling: three separate episodes from Inquisition era Castile to Reformation Zurich to a witch hunt in Shetland, all three about food and women. This book fills so many gaps in the scholarship, is so beautifully written and thought provoking that I would recommend it for any early modern history class and anyone interested in the history of food and the history of women.
