Focusing on alimentary themes, Bruce Boehrer delves into the poet's fascination with food and its role in reflecting Jonson's personal and cultural evolution. Through an analysis of Jonson's works, Boehrer highlights the sociohistorical importance of food, the politics surrounding consumption, and the context of Jacobean London. Additionally, he examines Renaissance medical practices and physiological theories, offering a unique interpretation of Jonson's influence on early modern English literary sensibility.
