Shelley and the Revolution in Taste: The Body and the Natural World by T. Morton, ISBN 0521471354

This groundbreaking study addresses the representation of food and drink in the works of Percy and Mary Shelley. With original studies of much-debated texts, it provides new perspectives in recent cultural history and theory concerning medicine and diet in the 1790SH1820 period. Morton shows how food in the social and literary text provided complex and ambivalent ways of signaling ideological preferences. It will appeal to all those interested in the body, ecology and social and anthropological approaches to Romantic literature. Shelley and the Revolution in Taste: The Body and the Natural World by T.

The popular view that Stone Age Man was primitive and ignorant is shattered as the author reveals the remarkable accomplishments made before the dawn of history. The journey begins in ancient Egypt, where excavations at Abydos have unearthed hieroglyphs belonging to an age before the pharaohs; to stone circles and burial chambers in Ireland which carbon dating proves pre-date Stonehenge by two millennia; to the world's first town, 9,000-year-old Catal Huyuk in Turkey; to startling new research on the Ice Man, the 5,000-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier; to 11,000-year-old writing unearthed on the banks of the Euphrates; to the awe-inspiring cave paintings of Ice Age France; and finally to Indonesia where the discovery of stone tools proves that pre-Neanderthal man undertook sea voyages 700,000 years before the Kon Tiki.
