Meat Mattersconsiders the formation of the butcher guild and family firms, debates over royal policy and regulation, and the burgeoning role of consumerism and public health. The production and consumption of meat becomes a window on important aspects of eighteenth-century culture, society, and politics, on class relations, and on economic change. Watts's examination of eighteenth-century market culture reveals why meat mattered to Parisians, as onetime subjects became citizens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sydney Watts is Associate Professor of history at the University of Richmond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580462111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580462112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Rochester Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.28w x 0.85d","brand":"Sydney Watts","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44919925768447,"sku":"9781580462112","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c26ca230-b99c-48e0-b6cf-81d13f683666.jpg?v=1710359757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/meat-matters-sydney-watts-9781580462112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
