In this book, Carolyn Daniel asserts that food plays an integral role in children's literature and in fact traverses over several other areas within children's literature as well. These concepts include food's relation to identity, control, manners, cannibalism, and motherhood in books directed towards kids. Ultimately, this book would help me explore other aspects of food in children's literature.
Hyman, Gwen. Making a Man: Gentlemanly Appetites in the Nineteenth Century British Novel. Athens. Ohio University Press, 2009.
Gwen Hyman argues that the gentlemen portrayed in British novels personify circulating class concerns. Her book scrutinizes several Victorian novels, exposing the supporting male lead role most gentlemanly characters in the novel adopted. All in all, this book would help in further analyzing food in Victorian literature, and may function to serve in a gender-analysis comparison.
