In The Fury of Men's Gullets, Bruce Boehrer explores the poet's
fascination with alimentary matters and the ways in which such
references describe Jonson's personal and cultural transformation.
In his wide-ranging examination of Jonson's plays, prose, and
nondramatic verse, Boehrer discusses the sociohistorical
significance of food, the politics of conspicuous consumption, the
infrastructure of Jacobean London, and pertinent aspects of
Renaissance medical practice and physiological theory. The Fury of
Men's Gullets uniquely interprets Jonson's construction of early
modern English literary sensibility.
