      ab: The article "Food Restraint and Fasting in Victorian Religion and Literature" by Lesa Scholl explores the ethical implications of food practices in Victorian literature, focusing on four women writers. Scholl argues that these writers valued fasting and food limitation as a form of lived ethics, rooted in a desire to help those in need. The author draws on theological views, historical observations, and close readings to support her case, ultimately depicting eating choices as a move towards social justice. Despite some underdeveloped readings and assumed familiarity with theological terms, Scholl's work is praised for its fresh and compelling approach to Victorian feminine agency and ethical consumption.
