Description

Alimentary Orientalism explores how British literature from 1650-1850 constructed and consumed the Orient through food, taste, and culinary imagination. This scholarly work examines the intersection of literary culture and colonial eating practices, revealing how British writers used food imagery to negotiate power, desire, and cultural difference with the East. Part of the Transits series focused on literature and thought in this formative period, the book traces how culinary metaphors and gastronomic encounters shaped British intellectual life and imperial ideology. By studying recipes, cookbooks, travel narratives, and literary texts, the author demonstrates that food was not merely a backdrop but a central mechanism through which Britain imagined and engaged with Eastern cultures. This critical study appeals to scholars of postcolonial literature, food history, and eighteenth-century British writing seeking nuanced analysis of how consumption practices reinforced or challenged Orientalist hierarchies.
