Cannibalism
is the
breaking of the ultimate taboo. Yet during the later Middle Ages and
early
years of the Renaissance, mythological, historical and contemporary
accounts
of cannibalism became particularly popular. Consuming Passions
synthesizes
and analyses the most interesting of those late medieval and early
modern
responses to Eucharistic teaching and debate that manifest themselves
in
the trope of cannibalism.
