Reviews

Farm to Form is a well-written, solid piece of scholarship. The selection of writers and texts alone will make this book a must-read, and no one, to my knowledge, has explored to this extent how the rapid transformation of food production, distribution, and marketing touched the choices that writers made in shaping their work. - Bill Conlogue, professor of English, Marywood University and author of Working the Garden
