Writing in the Kitchen: Essays on Southern Literature and Foodways,

摘要

In Writing in the Kitchen: Essays on Southern Literature and Foodways (Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi, 2014) editors David A. Davis and Tara Powell present a baker's dozen of informative, provocative essays ranging from a piece on Thomas Jefferson to a discussion of contemporary twenty-first century poetry. This volume, designed to be accessible to both the scholar and casual reader, should secure a place not only on the shelves of scholars and teachers of food studies, the literature and history of the American South, regionalism, and American material culture but also in the collections of public libraries, curious chefs, and friends and family members who love to eat and to learn about where their food traditions come from.
