Essays in French Literature and Culture (Nov 2023)
Introduction Matters of taste [Questions de goûts]
Abstract
De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum - there’s no accounting for taste nor colours the medieval adage says. Taste will nevertheless be disputed in this issue of Essays in French Literature and Culture which brings together five articles, exploring taste in texts from seventeenth to twentieth century while reflecting on the relationship between the human being and the sensory world.
