Commerce, Food, and Identity in Seventeenth-Century England and France : Across the Channel (Food Culture, Food History before 1900)

This text offers a compelling historical narrative of the relationship between food, national identity, and political economy in the early modern period. These mutually influential relationships are revealed through comparative and transnational analyses of effervescent wine, spices and cookbooks, the development of coffeehouses and cafés, and the 'national sweet tooth' in England and France.
