This book explores the origins and significance of the French
concept of terroir, demonstrating that the way the French eat their
food and drink their wine today derives from a cultural mythology
that developed between the Renaissance and the Revolution. Through
close readings and an examination of little-known texts from
diverse disciplines, Thomas Parker traces terroir's evolution,
providing insight into how gastronomic mores were linked to
aesthetics in language, horticulture, and painting and how the
French used the power of place to define the natural world, explain
comportment, and frame France as a nation.
