About the event

Join us for the first event organised by the new modernist research network Digestive Modernisms, an informal interdisciplinary network based in Edinburgh, bringing together researchers, artists, and writers interested in the gastronomics of modern literature and life.

Digestive Modernisms are interested in  food, diet, and gut health in modernist literature, art, culture, and philosophy, taking an approach that is informed by the medical humanities, food studies, animal studies, the environmental humanities, and posthumanism, among other critical contexts.

For this seminar, we'll be joined by Dr Elsa Richardson from University of Strathclyde, giving a seminar titled 'Love at The Crank’s Table: Sex, Digestion, and Radical Publishing'.
