Sommario/riassunto |
|
Tracing dramatic changes in how Americans ate during the 1800's, Food and the Novel in Nineteenth-Century America argues that novelists, along with writers of cookbooks and domestic guides, helped negotiate the meaning of these changes in ways that still shape how Americans eat today. |
