by Roy C. Strong
Review this book!
Structured around works of literature that reflect the customs of the time, Roy Strong's history of feasting moves from ancient empires and their revels to the banqueting customs of the early 20th century. As he travels through the centuries, Strong links up the rituals of lavish dining with the politics, fashions, social mores, interior decor, architecture, and other influences in each period.
