The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food explores the relationship between food and literature in transnational contexts, serving as both an introduction and a guide to the field in terms of defining characteristics and development. Balancing a wide-reaching view of the long histories and preoccupations of literary food studies, with attentiveness to recent developments and shifts, the volume illuminates the aesthetic, cultural, political, and intellectual diversity of the representation of food and eating in literature.

Lorna Piatti-Farnell, PhD, is Director of the Popular Culture Research Centre at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. Donna Lee Brien, PhD, is Professor of Creative Industries at Central Queensland University, Australia.
