First Edition Study on Ben Jonson's Alimentary Metaphors The Fury of Men's Gullets • Bruce Thomas Boehrer • 1997 Title: The Fury of Men's Gullets: Ben Jonson and the Digestive Canal Author: Bruce Thomas Boehrer Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press Year: 1997 Format: Hardcover ISBN: 0-8122-3408-1 Summary In The Fury of Men's Gullets, Bruce Boehrer explores the fascinating ways Ben Jonson utilized alimentary metaphors—ingestion, digestion, and excretion—to describe his personal and cultural transformations. Drawing on the theoretical work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this academic study delves into the language of table manners, ritual dining, and the representation of the emergent literary profession as a "digestive process." A brilliant resource for students and collectors of Renaissance England, drama history, and the socio-historical framework of early modern culture. This copy is a verified true first printing, highly desirable for academic collections.
