Descrição: Attending to food allows Hostetter to trace the realistic economic relations undergirding fantastical romance plots, the ways lush meals occasion wonder, and how appetites for power and domination are made visible on the body. Silence opposes Nature and 'Noureture' (with its double sense of alimentation and education), ultimately showing how essential Noureture is to the definition of social and gender roles. Havelok, in Hostetter's account, ultimately reinstates an aristocratic social order, but reminds its audience of the back-breaking, monotonous work that undergirds that political system, making toil nearly heroic in its own right.
