Fakta

In "Dinner Real and Reputed," Thomas de Quincey presents an engaging fusion of memoir, culinary critique, and philosophical inquiry. His literary style is characterized by its opulent prose and vivid imagery, typifying the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the grotesque. De Quincey deftly weaves personal anecdotes alongside cultural observations, illuminating the dynamics of societal dining practices while reflecting on the nature of reality versus perception in the culinary sphere. Each chapter serves as a lens through which readers can explore the intricate connections between food, class, and identity in early 19th-century England. Thomas de Quincey, best known for his confessional and often introspective essays, drew from his own life experiences to craft this work. A former opium addict and an ardent admirer of the philosophical underpinnings of Romanticism, de Quincey's exploration of dining reveals his complex relationship with pleasure, excess, and societal conventions. His background as a student of philosophy and literature and his travels through various social strata inform his nuanced perspective on the mundane yet profound act of dining. "Dinner Real and Reputed" is a must-read for those interested in the intricacies of food culture and its representation in literature. Readers will find themselves immersed in de Quincey'Äôs rich narrative style, which not only entertains but also provokes deeper thought about the roles food plays in social identity and collective memory. This book is an essential addition to the library of anyone who appreciates the intersection of culinary art and literary reflection.
