Food, Feasting and Table Manners in the Early Renaissance
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-33127-0 (ISBN)
The present volume focuses on a two-fold issue: food as a cultural element that united Mediterranean European society, and food as a cultural encounter between European explorers and new worlds during the early Renaissance. Therefore, this volume continues the themes introduced in the previous monograph, Food, Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages: Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context, but takes into account the new, global scale of the era.
Readers will find here a panorama of what, and how, people ate in Mediterranean Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and learn how cultural aspects of food were exported to the new lands that were explored during the Age of Discovery.
Guillermo Alvar Nuño obtained his PhD in Latin Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid. He developed his teaching career at the Université de Franche-Comté (Besançon, France, 2014–2017) and the University of Alcalá (2017–), where he currently teaches subjects related to the ancient and mediaeval worlds. As a researcher, he has worked with late antique and mediaeval pedagogical texts on the moral formation of ancient and mediaeval man. He has also researched the development of the courtly model in mediaeval Europe, the influence of classical authors in the Middle Ages and the development of Spanish humanism in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
