Richard Carn writes, "Shakespeare's' insights to the relations of bodily
processes and an emotional and/or spiritual course of events appears to
be a subject area worthy of pursuit.  If anyone knows of any work done
along these lines I would appreciate being informed."

Ben Jonson had a pretty alimentary imagination too, as detailed in:

Boehrer, Bruce Thomas.  The Fury of Men's Gullets: Ben Jonson and the
Digestive Canal.  Philadelphia: U of Pennsylvania P, 1997.
