"Cooks, Cooking, and Food on the Early Modern Stage" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc2029a/ Author: Templeman, Sally Jane. Type: Dissertation Year: 2013 Publication Information: Exeter, 2013, not paginated. <p>Dissertation Abstracts International</p> Annotation: Examines food in early modern plays by shifting "the critical focus from food-based metaphors to food-based properties and food-producing cook characters." Draws on Taming of the Shrew and Titus Andronicus to argue for Shakespeare's "site-specific responses to food-based scenes." While contending water as "a complex and quasi-mystical liquid," considers Timon of Athens as "a man of water" who "breaks up and divides his body at his last supper."
