The pleasures and horrors of eating [electronic resource] the cultural history of eating in anglophone literature / Marion Gymnich, Norbert Lennartz (eds.) ; in cooperation with Scheunemann.

• Browsing through books and TV channels we find people pre-occupied with eating, cooking and competing with chefs. Eating and food in today's media have become a form of entertainment and art. A survey of literary history and culture shows to what extent eating used to be closely related to all areas of human life, to religion, eroticism and even to death. In this volume, early modern ideas of feasting, banqueting and culinary pleasures are juxtaposed with post-18th- and 19th-century concepts in which the intake of food is increasingly subjected to moral, theological and economic reservations.
