The Food of Shakespeare's World
b'This episode shifts slightly from our usual intense focus on Shakespeare. Instead, we are talking about the world that he inhabited, or at least a small part of that world: the kitchen. Kitchens, and what goes on in them, come up in Shakespeare\\u2019s plays with surprising frequency, whether directly or, more often, obliquely. \\n\\nOur guest is Wendy Wall, an English professor at Northwestern University and director of the Kaplan Institute for the Humanities. Her 2015 book Recipes for Thought: Knowledge and Taste in the Early Modern English Kitchen explores household recipes and what they tell us about English culture when Shakespeare was writing. She is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev.\\n\\nFrom the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published July 26, 2016. \\xa9 Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.
