Food in Medieval England draws on the latest research to present the most up-to-date picture of English diet from the early Saxon period up to c.1540. It examines a wide range of sources, from the historical records of medieval farms, abbeys, and households, to animal bones, human remains, and plants from archaeological sites.

Food in Medieval England Zusammenfassung

Food in Medieval England: Diet and Nutrition C. M. Woolgar (Reader and Head of Special Collections, University of Southampton Library)

Food and diet are central to understanding daily life in the middle ages. In the last two decades, the potential for the study of diet in medieval England has changed markedly: historians have addressed sources in new ways; material from a wide range of sites has been processed by zooarchaeologists and archaeobotanists; and scientific techniques, newly applied to the medieval period, are opening up possibilities for understanding the cumulative effects of diet on the skeleton. In a multi-disciplinary approach to the subject, this volume, written by leading experts in different fields, unites analysis of the historical, archaeological, and scientific record to provide an up-to-date synthesis. The volume covers the whole of the middle ages from the early Saxon period up to c .1540, and while the focus is on England wider European developments are not ignored. The first aim of the book is to establish how much more is now known about patterns of diet, nutrition, and the use of food in display and social competition; its second is to promote interchange between the methodological approaches of historians and archaeologists. The text brings together much original research, marrying historical and archaeological approaches with analysis from a range of archaeological disciplines, including archaeobotany, archaeozoology, osteoarchaeology, and isotopic studies.

[A] very informative and useful book. * Archaeological Review from Cambridge *
This ambitious book is successful in its aim to draw together the wide variety of information about medieval diet and nutrition... and as such represents a major achievement...anyone with an interest in diet and history should read it. * Max Satchell, LPS. *
a comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume ... an excellent book that is set to become standard reading on the topic for many years to come. * Alan K. Outram, History *
a valuable multidisciplinary contribution to the literature on foodways, diets, and eating practices in medieval England. * Martha Carlin, The Ricardian *
there is no doubt that this book is of great value to researchers working on medieval England, but is also inspiring and pleasant literature for a broader archaeological and historical readership ... The importance of this book is undeniable and it will surely become a milestone in the medieval English literature on diet and nutrition. * Angelos Hadjikoumis, assemblage *
