The Apostasy of Taste in The City and the Mountains
Abstract
The protagonist’s gustatory re-evaluation in The City and the Mountains illustrates, through metonymy, the multiplicity of taste–an essential feature of modernity in Eça de Queirós’s novel. This perspective challenges the traditional critical interpretations that previously shaped its reception.
Keywords: Queirosian Studies; Literary Aesthetics; Sensibility.
