Cannibalism in High Medieval English Literature cover

This book reads the surprisingly widespread representations of cannibals and cannibalism in medieval English literature as political metaphors that were central to England's on-going process of articulating cultural and national identity.

'...she [Blurton] assembles much new material, making us look at her subject again. Her book will thus be first port of call for researchers on anthropophagy.' - Andrew Breeze, Modern Language Review
