Towards a constructionist fat history -- A time before fat? gluttonyin Piers Plowman -- Emergence of fatness defiant : Skelton at court --Lean and mean : Shakespeare's criticism of thin privilege -- Boundlessfat in Middleton's A game at chess -- Weigh me as a friend : Jonson's multiple constructions of the fat body.

The Culture of Obesity in Early and Late Modernity offers the first sustained examination of fatness in the early modern period. As Levy-Navarro notes, bodily perceptions have evolved that value the thin body as they mark and stigmatize the fat one. Using readings of such major figures as Shakespeare, Jonson, Middleton, and Skelton, this book considers alternative ways that fat was constructed before the introduction ofthe modern pathologized category of "obesity". Levy-Navarro argues that Shakespeare, Jonson, and Skelton understood that a thin aesthetic consolidates the power of the elite and chose to align themselves with their fat, lowly, and revolting characters--an alliance that offers a model of defiance with continued relevance.
