From Taverns to Gastropubs : Food, Drink, and Sociality in England Hardback
by Christel (Professor Emeritus, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology and St. Johns Colleg Lane
Hardback
Description
The pub is a prominent social institution integral to British identity.
From Taverns of Gastropubs: Food, Drink, and Sociality in England charts the historical development of the English public house from the Restoration period to the twenty-first century, culminating in the contemporary gastropub.
It explores issues of class, gender, and national identification to understand the social identity of patrons and how publicans conceive of their establishments' organizational identity. In the context of large-scale pub closures since the 1990s the gastropub is viewed as both a reaction to the traditional drinking pub and as a promising alternative.
From Taverns to Gastropubs uses historical diaries, industry reports, and a wealth of in-depth interviews in order to understand the rise of the gastropub and how food, drink, and sociality has changed through time.
