Abstract

In the long eighteenth century, new consumer aspirations combined with a new industrious behavior to fundamentally alter the material cultures of northwest Europe and North America. This 'industrious revolution' is the context in which the economic acceleration associated with the Industrial Revolution took shape. This study explores the intellectual understanding of the new importance of consumer goods as well as the actual consumer behavior of households of all income levels. De Vries examines how the activation and evolution of consumer demand shaped the course of economic development, situating consumer behavior in the context of the household economy. He considers the changing consumption goals of households from the seventeenth century to the present and analyzes how household decisions have mediated between macro-level economic growth and actual human betterment. Ultimately, de Vries' research reveals the strengths and weaknesses of existing consumer theory, suggesting revisions that add historical realism to economic abstractions.

Abstract

La cuisine médiévale est un monde que nous avons perdu. De ses saveurs, de ses odeurs, de ses couleurs, nous ne savons que ce que nous en disent des réceptaires conservés en grand nombre. Souvent évoqués mais mal connus, ils attendent encore d'être scrutés et disséqués par les historiens de l'alimentation. A condition toutefois qu'on sache en reconnaître les intentions, les usages et les limites. C'est autour de 1300 qu'apparaissent simultanément, du Danemark à l'Italie, les premiers livres de cuisine de l'Occident chrétien. Conçus par des maîtres-queux au service de grands princes, ces brefs mémentos s'adressent d'abord aux maîtres d'hôtel. Mais, tout au long des XIVe et XVe siècles, les copies se multiplient et de nouveaux recueils prennent le relais, ouverts aux spécialités régionales, aux modes de l'instant ou aux goûts de lecteurs plus modestes. Souvent uniques, perpétuellement mouvants, ils ne s'en rattachent pas moins à des modèles, à des traditions qui méritent un débrouillement scrupuleux. De ce point de vue, le Viandier constitue le parangon de la littérature culinaire médiévale. Attribué par ses contemporains à un cuisinier royal, Guillaume Tirel dit Taillevent, il fut un véritable best-seller, prolongé par l'impression jusqu'en plein XVIIe siècle. Mais la cuisine d'exception dont il témoigne n'avait pas toujours vocation à être mise en œuvre. Lu et rêvé au moins autant que pratiqué, le livre de cuisine, tout comme aujourd'hui, passait sans cesse de la table à la bibliothèque.

Abstract

In the closing years of the fourteenth century, an anonymous French writer compiled a book addressed to a fifteen-year-old bride, narrated in the voice of her husband, a wealthy, aging Parisian. The book was designed to teach this young wife the moral attributes, duties, and conduct befitting a woman of her station in society, in the almost certain event of her widowhood and subsequent remarriage. The work also provides a rich assembly of practical materials for the wife's use and for her household, including treatises on gardening and shopping, tips on choosing servants, directions on the medical care of horses and the training of hawks, plus menus for elaborate feasts, and more than 380 recipes.The Good Wife's Guide is the first complete modern English translation of this important medieval text also known as Le Ménagier de Paris (the Parisian household book), a work long recognized for its unique insights into the domestic life of the bourgeoisie during the later Middle Ages. The Good Wife's Guide, expertly rendered into modern English by Gina L. Greco and Christine M. Rose, is accompanied by an informative critical introduction setting the work in its proper medieval context as a conduct manual. This edition presents the book in its entirety, as it must have existed for its earliest readers.The Guide is now a treasure for the classroom, appealing to anyone studying medieval literature or history or considering the complex lives of medieval women. It illuminates the milieu and composition process of medieval authors and will in turn fascinate cooking or horticulture enthusiasts. The work illustrates how a (perhaps fictional) Parisian householder of the late fourteenth century might well have trained his wife so that her behavior could reflect honorably on him and enhance his reputation.
