This is one of my favorite novels of all time! I wanted something to listen to and decided to revisit it on audible. I appreciate that the audio recording had the entire book and the narrator was excellent!

A must for Arthurian Legend Fans
Revisado: 08-06-21
I have been into binging Great Courses lectures with an incredible sale on them on audible. This one has been my absolute favorite so far. The professor is very engaging and knowledgeable. It was a lot of fun to hear her insights on some of my all time favorites---Tennyson, TH White and Marion Zimmer Bradley in addition to being introduced to some other sources I hadn't heard of before. I had also just read Sir Gawain or the Green Knght after seeing the wonderfyl new Green Knight movie and the historical insight into the period made me appreciate what I had seen even more. I have always loved Arthurian Legend but had never had the opportunity for an academic literature survey of the Legend before so this course was a real treat!

Professor Jennifer Cognard-Black takes you on a culinary tour of fiction, from Proust’s evocative madeleine and the voracious hunger of fairy tales to the intersection of recipes with storytelling and the emotional consumption of food on film. These lessons look at how food can be so much more than mere set dressing in a great story.

Delicious Lectures!
Revisado: 07-21-21
This was a really fun examination of food in literature! It was a great array of topics ranging from how food reveals a character to the perception of food centric books being low brow because it centers on female experiences. Books and movies in a variety of genres are explored. I have always been fascinated by the depiction of food in books so this was a fun series of lectures! My biggest disappointment is the lack of notes to refer to later. I am a huge fan of Great Courses and most of them have a pdf file with lecture outlines and a bibliography. These kinds of notes are helpful because I usually listen to the lectures while I am doing data entry at work or chores around the house and like to be able to look up sources at the library or amazon to dig deeper into the material. Its fair to say that the lectures were so engaging that it made me hungry for more on the topic!
