Governance of the Consuming Passions
註釋This book explores the sumptuary laws that regulated conspicuous consumption in respect to dress, ornaments, and food that were widespread in late medieval and early modern Europe.

The gendered character of sumptuary laws are viewed as components of gender wars'.
