{"product_id":"the-english-taste-tim-parise-9781716959158","title":"The English Taste: Cuisine and Class in the Works of E. Phillips Oppenheim","description":"Between 1887 and 1943, the bestselling English writer E. Phillips Oppenheim published more than 160 novels that today are almost entirely forgotten. The English Taste explores how Oppenheim used literary portrayals of food in general and haute cuisine in particular to reinforce the social themes of his works, including his support for class stratification and his opposition to democracy and women's rights. It looks at the restaurants and nightclubs he favored, inquires into the brands of champagne he preferred, and investigates how much it cost to eat like Oppenheim did, as well as examining the value of Oppenheim's works as social propaganda and the symbiotic relationship that Oppenheim perceived to exist between fine food and intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Parise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1716959152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781716959158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.31d","brand":"Tim Parise","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48436975108351,"sku":"9781716959158","price":54.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bab0749-cbcf-4393-bfb9-55940882b376.jpg?v=1777159030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-english-taste-tim-parise-9781716959158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
