- This longer-form output (120,000 words) is the culmination of research throughout my working life, from the 1980s on. Food is omnipresent, yet illusive for particular contexts and different perspectives: the role of women, peasant cooking, evidence for consumption (rather than production) are hard to isolate. For breadth of insight I read - many in manuscript (at 21 archival institutions) - domestic accounts, sermons, coroners’ rolls, miracle collections, manorial and urban records, literary texts, proverbs, etc., and analysed all Middle English words related to food. No one before has approached the mentalities of medieval people towards food in this depth.
