Dryden defined himself as a writer in relation to other writers, and in doing so was something of a pioneer professional man of letters. This book looks at Dryden's literary relationships with Ben Jonson and with French authors (notably Corneille); at issues raised by the work thought to be his greatest by Romantic and contemporary readers, Fables Ancient and Modern; and at Samuel Johnson's Life of Dryden. This book has implications for questions of literary reception, influence and intertextuality, as well as for the reputation and context of Dryden himself.
Dryden's writings are studded with names, conspicuously those of
his literary predecessors and contemporaries. He defined himself as
a writer in relation to other writers, and in doing so was
something of a pioneer professional man of letters: poet,
playwright, critic, prose stylist, England's foremost verse
translator, the first literary historian to provide a conception of
periods, and what would now be termed a comparatist. This 1993 book
looks at Dryden's literary relationships with Ben Jonson and with
French authors (notably Corneille), at issues raised by the work
thought to be his greatest by Romantic and contemporary readers,
Fables Ancient and Modern; and at Samuel Johnson's definition of
Dryden, whose biography in Johnson's Lives was the author's
favourite. The book has implications for questions of literary
reception, influence and intertextuality, as well as for the
reputation and context of Dryden himself.

worship in St. Paul'sand the other on the revisions to his Elegies.

Few things are as important as the food we eat. Conversations in
Food Studies demonstrates the value of interdisciplinary research
through the cross-pollination of disciplinary, epistemological, and
methodological perspectives. Widely diverse essays, ranging from
the meaning of milk, to the bring-your-own-wine movement, to urban
household waste, are theproduct of collaborating teams of
interdisciplinary authors. Readers are invited to engage and
reflect on the theories and practices underlying some of the most
important issues facing the emerging field of foodstudies today.
Conversations in Food Studies brings to the table thirteen original
contributions organized around the themes of representation,
governance, disciplinary boundaries, and, finally, learning through
food. This collection offers an important and groundbreaking
approach to food studies as it examines and reworks the boundaries
that have traditionally structured the academy and that underlie
much of food studies literature.
This expansive collection enriches the field of food studies with a
feminist intersectional perspective, addressing the impacts that
race, ethnicity, class, and nationality have on nutritional
customs, habits, and perspectives. Throughout the text,
international scholars explore three areas in feminist food
studies: the socio-cultural, the corporeal, and the material. The
textbook's chapters intersect as they examine how food is linked to
hegemony, identity, and tradition, while contributors offer diverse
perspectives that stem from biology, museum studies, economics,
popular culture, and history. This text's engaging writing style
and timely subject-matter encourage student discussions and
forward-looking analyses on the advancement of food studies. With a
unique multidisciplinary and global perspective, this vital
resource is well-suited to undergraduate students of food studies,
nutrition, gender studies, sociology, and anthropology. Features
includes pedagogical features such as discussion questions and a
glossary ensures a feminist intersectional approach to food studies
to enhance, enliven, and advance food studies in innovative,
creative, and radical ways
Pedro AlmOdovar may have helped put queer Iberian cinema on the
map, but there are also multitudes of other LGBTQ filmmakers from
Catalonia, Portugal, Castile, Galicia, and the Basque Country who
have made the Peninsula one of the world's most vital sources for
queer film. Together, they have produced a cinema whose expressions
of queer desire have challenged the region's conservative religious
and family values, while intervening in vital debates about
politics, history, and nation. Iberian Queer Cinema is a unique
collection that offers in-depth analyses of fifteen different
films, each by a different director, produced in the region over
the past fifty years, from Narciso IbANez Serrador's La residencia
(The House That Screamed, 1970) to JoAo Pedro Rodrigues' O
ornitOlogo (The Ornithologist, 2016). Together, they show how queer
Iberian cinema has responded to historical traumas ranging from the
AIDS crisis to the repressive and homophobic Franco regime. Yet
they also explore how these films gesture towards a more fluid
understanding of sexuality, gender, and national identity. This
book will thus give readers a new appreciation for both the
cultural diversity of Iberia and the richness of its moving and
thought-provoking queer cinema.
