Review

"Our desire to observe others eating, from the inside, is a large part of the appeal of reading about food in literature, as I was reminded by a splendid new collection edited by Christina Hardyment, "Pleasures of the Table: A Literary Anthology," illustrated with vivid historic images from the collection of the British Library. . . . The collection as a whole reads like a fresh treat, thanks to Hardyment s keen eye for pleasures of many kinds. She allows us to stare, unobserved, at many an intimate breakfast and ad-hoc luncheon."--Bee Wilson "New Yorker ""
