Laddar... Tea with Jane Austenav Kim Wilson

Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A pleasant, weightless book about tea. It's a knockoff of the more substantial Jane Austen Cookbook, which is more detailed and erudite. However, this was an agreeable pastime, and fun for any Austen fan. ( ) I expected this book to be rather light and cute. Instead, I found it thoroughly readable and a terrific resource (I'm researching a novel set in this period). Recipes are included and, more importantly, put into context -- figuring out *when* the Regency English ate and drank can be trickier than *what*, since this aspect of the culture was in a state of flux. Frequent references are also made to contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction. I learned about several novels I'd never heard of. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about Georgian England. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

While to us tea is an everyday commodity, in Austen's time it was relatively expensive, and to be able to offer it to visitors implied some degree of social status. This book examines the social customs of the time, and includes recipes. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
