About this title

Synopsis

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.

A life-long parrot fancier, he is the author of Parrot Culture: Our 2500-Year-Long Fascination with the World's Most Talkative Bird and The Fury of Men's Gullets: Ben Jonson and the Digestive Canal, both available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
