Recipes for Thought analyzes, for the first time, the full range of English manuscript and printed recipe collections produced over the course of two centuries. Recipes reveal much more than the history of puddings and pies: they expose the unexpectedly therapeutic, literate, and experimental culture of the English kitchen. Wendy Wall explores ways that recipe writing-like poetry and artisanal culture-wrestled with the physical and metaphysical puzzles at the center of both traditional humanistic and emerging "scientific" cultures. Drawing on the works of Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson, and others to interpret a reputedly "unlearned" form of literature, she demonstrates that people from across the social spectrum concocted poetic exercises of wit, experimented with unusual and sometimes edible forms of literacy, and tested theories of knowledge as they wrote about healing and baking. Recipe exchange, we discover, invited early modern housewives to contemplate the complex components of being a Renaissance "maker" and thus to reflect on lofty concepts such as figuration, natural philosophy, national identity, status, mortality, memory, epistemology, truth-telling, and matter itself. Kitchen work, recipes tell us, engaged vital creative and intellectual labors. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aFood writing$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFood writing$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aCooking, English$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aCooking, English$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aFormulas, recipes, etc$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aFormulas, recipes, etc$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aMedicine$vFormulae, receipts, prescriptions$xHistory 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of$xHistory 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 0$aFood writing$xHistory 615 0$aFood writing$xHistory 615 0$aCooking, English$xHistory 615 0$aCooking, English$xHistory 615 0$aFormulas, recipes, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aFormulas, recipes, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of$xHistory. 615 0$aRenaissance 676 $a641.509 700 $aWall$b Wendy$f1961-$01535002 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797810303321 996 $aRecipes for thought$93782971 997 $aUNINA
