Using a three-part structure focused on the major historical
subjects of the Inquisition, the Reformation and witchcraft,
Christopher Kissane examines the relationship between food and
religion in early modern Europe. Food, Religion and Communities in
Early Modern Europe employs three key case studies in Castile,
Zurich and Shetland to explore what food can reveal about the wider
social and cultural history of early modern communities undergoing
religious upheaval. Issues of identity, gender, cultural symbolism
and community relations are analysed in a number of different
contexts. The book also surveys the place of food in history and
argues the need for historians not only to think more about food,
but also with food in order to gain novel insights into historical
issues. This is an important study for food historians and anyone
seeking to understand the significant issues and events in early
modern Europe from a fresh perspective.
