Add to basketLondon / New York Routledge 1992 Hardcover, 162pp., 14x22cm., some illustr. in b/w., in good condition (binding with light traces of use and spine with some traces of a removed sticker, paper edges a bit foxing, inside in very good condition). First published in 1992, Wedding Cakes and Cultural History is a unique contribution t…o the anthropology of food, tracing the fascinating history of wedding cakes, from late medieval feasts and rites, through the Victorian wedding breakfast and into the 1990s. Dr. Charsley maps the intricate creation of the wedding cake and explores its uses and meanings. He shows that the wedding cake provides a vivid illustration of the traditions and traditional values inherent in all foods and demonstrates the part that material culture plays in the process of change.
