Riassunto

Thomas Twyne’s The Schoolmaster, or Teacher of Table Phylosophie (1576) provides a window into early modern table manners and customs. Divided into four books, The Schoolmaster covers the effects of various meats and drinks on the body, proper table etiquette, questions about food and eating, and jests. Twyne addresses his manual to educated readers and aims to refine English gentlemen and women. With its focus on regulation and comportment, both of the body and society, The Schoolmaster stands as an important example of how social expectations and pressures defined England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This edition offers the first modern publication of the The Schoolmaster.
