Synopsis
This book is the eleventh volume in the series ‘Food and Society’ produced by the Leeds Symposium on Food History. Prospect produced last year’s proceedings, Feeding a City: York; this book is uniform with that. There are plentiful black and white illustrations throughout; the book is fully indexed and annotated. BAPTISM, MARRIAGE, CHILDBIRTH, DEATH: these are the milestones of life, invariably marked by a feast or comforting rituals founded on food and drink. Some of these habits flourished, then died away – think of the cups of wine passed around the gossips gathered at a lying in; others have gone on to be industries in their own right – the wedding cake, which has slowly but surely evolved from the giant flat discs of bride cake illustrated in the sensational full-colour cover of a fête in Bermondsey by Hofnagel in the seventeenth century, to the many-tiered and icing-bedaubed monuments of today.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Baptism, Marriage, Childbirth, Death - these are the milestones of life over which the Christian church has traditionally officiated and ones invariably marked by a feast or comforting rituals founded on food and drink. Some of these habits flourished, then died away, such as the cups of wine passed around at a lying in; others have gone on to be industries in their own right, such as the wedding cake, wedding receptions and honeymoons. The book consists of six essays by recognised food-historians, each taking in turn one of these milestones, sometimes (but not always) with a certain north-of-England and Church of England bias. BAPTISM, MARRIAGE, CHILDBIRTH, DEATH: The book consists of six essays by recognised food-historians, each tackling one of these milestones. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781903018170
