Review

"Appelbaum explores, chapter by chapter, the different ways in which early modern authors write about food. . . . [He] persuades us to ask searching questions about brief culinary asides in 16th-century literature and to recognise the false clues by which some commentators have been misled. . . . Readers learn almost as much about early modern food as about the literature that digests it."—Times Higher Education Supplement (Andrew Dalby Times Higher Education Supplement )

"An accessible and engaging exploration of the significance of food in early modern literature and social practice. . . . The useful material Appelbaum incorporates into his interpretation of these texts and into his study as a whole, and his attention both to detail and to broader social conditions and literary trends, make this a useful book for a wide range of readers."—Jan Purnis, Renaissance Quarterly (Jan Purnis Renaissance Quarterly )

"[The] study is expansive, ambitious, learned, and often both startling and delightful. . . . The really notable thing about Aguecheek''s Beef is its erudite yet genial breadth of vision, which marks it as a major sourcebook for future scholars working in the field of food studies. Applebaum comes as close as possible to offering readers a unified field theory of early modern alimentary behavior. . . . A study of marvelous richnes and diversity."—Bruce Boehrer, Clio (Bruce Boehrer Clio )

"The triangulation among print documents from a diverse and expansive canon; the turns, as well as the minutiae, of grand events; and the informed speculation about material aspects of existence, yield rich, satisfying results." (Julia Abramson Journal of Interdisciplinary History )

"I consider this book excellent in almost every regard. Applebaum''s scholarship is deep, his prose immensely readable, and his thesis compelling from beginning to end. . . . His ability to see in very specific examples . . . the larger lineaments of a culture''s attitudes toward itself makes for a lively intellectual journey." (Thomas G. Olsen Sixteenth Century Journal )

"An insightful and thought-provoking book and the arguments Applebaum makes . . . are already shaping scholarship on this important branch of cultural studies about the ideational meanings of food, and the relationship between literature and food." (Claire Jowitt Key Words )
