Итог: | Introduction: taste and see the power of food -- The language of food in Boccaccio's Decameron -- Of frogs, giants, and the court: Pulci's Morgante -- Banquets of power: Boiardo's Innamorato and the politics of gastronomy -- Meals, transformations, and the belly of history: Ariosto's Furioso -- Courtesans and figs, art and nature in Aretino's Ragionamento -- Conclusion "Pina Palma's Savoring Power, Consuming the Times: The Metaphors of Food in Medieval and Renaissance Italian Literature is an innovative look at the writings of five important Italian authors--Boccaccio's Decameron, Pulci's Morgante, Boiardo's Innamorato, Ariosto's Furioso, and Aretino's Ragionamento. Through the prism of gastronomy, Palma examines these key works in the Western literary canon, bringing into focus how their authors use food and gastronomy as a means to critique the social, political, theological, philosophical, and cultural beliefs that constitute the fabric of the society in which they live." -- Publisher's website |
