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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
