内容説明
The aim of this work is to capture the importance that people in the 16th century attributed to meals and conversation at the table. Jeanneret starts by focusing on the discourse of humanists about food and feasts and then goes on to deal specifically with table-talk. He shows how they liked to represent extravagant banquets, but at the same time established a strict code of behaviour and used the ceremonies of the table to display good manners. In the latter part of the book, the author discusses serious treatises that showed how to regulate the content and style of conversation in order to promote both intellectual stimulation and politeness around the table, despite the fact that the trend followed the opposite direction.
