The Loaded Table: Representations of Food in Roman Literature Paperback - 1997
by Emily Gowers
From the rear cover
This book offers a novel and unconventional approach to Roman culture through food as it is represented in literature. Although food is not generally thought of as the noblest of literary subjects--and this view is a legacy from the Romans--it is curious that Roman writers chose so persistently to depict their society at the dinner-table. Why this was so, and what effect the inclusion of food has on the status of the literary texts that contained it, are among the questions discussed.

Description:
Paperback / softback. New. It is food as represented in literature which provides the novel and unconventional approach to Roman culture used in this book. Through a new interpretation of various Latin works where food is described, the author explains why Roman writers so persistently depicted their society at the dinner table and why food was such a suggestive image for Roman civilization.
