Book Synopsis
Reading Eating Disorders uses literary texts as a key to open the door of American culture. Novels
and poems on disordered eating reveal Americaâ€™s bulimic relationship to food and the
tendency to punish individuals â€“ particularly women and the poor â€“ for not being slender.
These texts partake of the confessional ethos in American public culture â€“ the need to testify to
and hear about intimate physical details. Tracing the history of eating disorders and Western
cultureâ€™s idealization of thinness with reference to canonical literary works such as Christina
Rossettiâ€™s Goblin Market (1859) and Samuel Richardsonâ€™s Clarissa (1747â€“8), the author
illustrates anorexia, bulimia, and the binge-eating disorder using contemporary accounts of these
disorders. A cultural studies approach to literature is taken to describe how writings on eating
disorders reveal the political and economic world out of which they are written.
