What, exactly, did tea, sugar, and opium mean in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain? Alimentary Orientalism examines the contentious debates surrounding these exotic, recently popularized, and literally consumable things. It suggests that the interwoven discourses that these commodities sparked transformed the period’s literary Orientalism and created surprisingly self-reflexive ways through which British writers encountered and imagined cultural otherness.
