内容简介

This volumes adds to the rich tradition of exegesis on the place of food and drink in French society and culture. It deals predominantly with literary representations of eating and drinking, past and present, and covers topics ranging from gastronomy to anorexia, from sobriety to ebriety, and from overt to covert food practices. All the literary genres are represented. What emerges is an understanding of the complex nature of our relationship to food and drink and a heightened awareness of the importance of the culinary.
