- catalog abstract "Between the political revolutions of 1789 and 1848 - Romanticism in its broadest sense - no other subject so directly challenged the notion of "good taste" in literature as food. To be "in good taste," a work of the high style excluded references to literal taste; culinary allusions in tragedy and lyric poetry therefore represented an ironic attack on literary decorum and a liberation from the constraints of figurative taste. In The Ambiguity of Taste, Jocelyne Kolb undertakes close readings of six authors to define changes in genre and metaphorical usage. After a discussion of figurative taste and its tyranny during the eighteenth century, Kolb looks first at Moliere and Fielding, whose culinary allusions herald poetic revolution but whose works do not themselves escape the limits of a neoclassical aesthetic. Byron and Heine, known as renegades, are treated in separate chapters and in the greatest detail. The penultimate chapter joins Goethe and Hugo as champions of poetic freedom, and in the final chapter Kolb briefly considers Thomas Mann and Proust, whose works display the gains of poetic revolution.".
