With an acute eye and an irrepressible wit, Margaret Visser takes a fascinating look at the way we eat our meals. From the ancient Greeks to modern yuppies, from cannibalism and the taking of the Eucharist to formal dinners and picnics, she thoroughly defines the eating ritual. "Read this book. You'll never look at a table knife the same way again."—The New York Times.

Examines the birth of a nation-state from the death throes of the Middle Ages in North-West Europe. John D. makes distinctive the establishment of a stable monarchy by the very competent Henry VII, examines the means employed by him, and considers how far his monarchy can be described as "new." He also discusses the machinery by which the royal power was exercised and traces the effect of the concentration of lay ecclesiastical authority in the person of Wolsey, who's soaring ambition helped make possible the caesaropapism of Henry VIII.
