About this product
Product Information
The award-winning classic reissued for its 25th anniversary, with a new introduction by Bee Wilson This is the book on the way we eat.Solidifying her standing as a preeminent observer and scholar of everyday life, Margaret Visser takes on the sweeping history of table manners, from the civilizations of ancient Greece and medieval Europe to the way that technology has altered, and continues to alter, our behaviour over dinner.She writes of everything from cultural idiosyncrasies around preparation and consumption, to the surprising origins of tableware - forks took eight centuries to become common utensils, the plate began as a four-day-old slice of bread. Blending folklore, history, and humour, this is a feast of fact and observation on one of our most primal rituals- the meal.

I placed an order for a book from this seller. I realized afterwards that this was several years old. As the speciality in question has been growing exponentially, the material in this book would be outdated. I therefore requested if I could cancel the order. The seller promptly agreed to cancel the order and issued an immediate refund which was most kind. Overall, this is an excellent seller that I would highly recommend and would definitely buy from in the future.
