- The Food Plot in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel revises the history and theory of the novel, clarifying the importance of Malthusian population theory to the development of the novel form and uncovering the ‘food plot’ against which the marriage plot and modern subjectivity take shape. Analysing the relationship between these plots in over 20 novels across the nineteenth century, from Jane Austen to Bram Stoker, this book pushes forward understandings of narrative, character, biopolitics, hospitality, and literary representations of food and eating while engaging with economic, political, scientific, and legal contexts and making interventions into understandings of late-Victorian vegetarian writing.
