Reviews

Robert Merrett tackles our ancestors' world of eating and drinking with relish. Tapping into a lifetime's knowledge of literary texts, leavened with rare archival sources scattered throughout France, and more discursive readings into British, French, and Canadian history, he compellingly demonstrates that eating and drinking were part and parcel of the overall movement towards the Enlightenment and cultural imperialism. Donald W. Nichol, Memorial University of Newfoundland
