In this continuing series, the topic of morality embraces a wide
range of essays from English, American and overseas scholars who
ponder contemporary questions such as eating foie gras, advertising
junk food, and master and servant relationships as well as
historical studies concerning fasting in the Reformation, food in
Dickens' novels, the ethics of early gastronomy and Jainism and
food. In nigh on forty essays the whole question of the interplay
between our eating habits and ethics is covered from multiple
angles. The rise of ecological awareness and the intimate
connection between food habits and the big questions of life such
as global warming make the topic one of the most popular among
present students of foodways.This volume will be a significant
edition to the present debate. Some of the essays are as follows:
Holly Shaffer, "The Morality of Luxury Cuisine in Lucknow, India";
Marcia Zoladz, "Cacao in Brazil"; Andrew F. Smith, "Marketing Junk
Food to Children in the United States"; Raymond Sokolov, "The Myth
of Roman Decadence at Table; Cicilia Leong-Salobir, "The Colonial
Kitchen and the Role of Servants"; Ken Albala, "The Ideology of
Fasting in the Reformation Era"; Bruce Kraig, "Why Not Eat Pets?";
Rachel Ankeny, "The Moral Economy of Red Meat in Australia"; Tracy
Thong, "Traders and Tricksters in Ben Jonson's "Bartholomew Fair"";
Robert Appelbaum, "The Civility of Eating"; Rachel Laudan, "The
Refined Cuisine of Plain Cooking"; and Lilo Lloyd-Jones, "The
Glutton, Voluptuary and Epicure in Early Gastronomic Literature".
The book follows the standard form of academic proceedings and the
readership is therefore specialised. This is the twenty-fifth
volume in the series.
