Alternately deemed a miracle cure for a variety of diseases and denigrated as a health hazard, meat consumption was medicalized in the early twentieth century. This project investigates fiction writers' responses to this phenomenon, exploring meat and mysticism in Forster and Huxley; Richardson's dietary writings; meat as tuberculosis treatment in Mansfield and Lawrence; the force-feeding of suffrage activitsts and psychiatric patients, via Woolf; and Joyce's medical training to understand meat in Ulysses (1922). Tracing dominant medical and pseudo-medical discourses on meat-eating, I argue that carnivory shifts our attention to literary interests in ingestion, and the relationship between bodies and texts.

肉类消费被认为是治愈各种疾病的灵丹妙药，并被贬低为对健康的危害，但在20世纪初，它被医学化了。这个项目调查了小说家对这一现象的反应，探索了福斯特和赫胥黎中的肉类和神秘主义；理查森的饮食写作；曼斯菲尔德和劳伦斯的肉类作为结核病的治疗；通过伍尔夫强迫选举权活动家和精神病人进食；以及乔伊斯在《尤利西斯》(1922年)中接受的理解肉类的医学培训。追溯关于肉食的主流医学和伪医学论述，我认为肉食性将我们的注意力转移到摄取方面的文学兴趣，以及身体和文本之间的关系。
