Description
Uses Victor Turner's idea of "social drama" and medieval notions of the status of food, cooks, and kitchen work to argue that, in GP, the Franklin's cook and the Cook of the Guildsmen effectively reflect and/or reinforce the social aspirations of their employers. Includes an abstract in Turkish and English.
