Question

In one essay, this author describes a fishpond containing “dace that darted to and fro” and a “great sulky pike hanging midway down the water.” This author notes “she woundeth and excoriateth the lips that approach her—like lovers’ kisses she biteth,” in a mock-heroic evaluation of the taste of pineapple. In arguing that “One would not, like Lear, ‘give everything,’” this author tells of how they regretted giving a beggar a (*) “plum-cake” their aunt made for them. A reverie is interrupted by the declaration, “The children of Alice call Bartrum father,” in this author’s essay “Dream-Children.” (-5[1])This author asks whether it is morally justified to whip an animal to death (10[1])to improve its flavor at the end of an essay (10[1])in which the Chinese cowherds Bo-bo and (10[1])Ho-ti (10[1])repeatedly burn down (10[1])their hut (10[1])to make the title food. For 10 points, name this author, who used the pseudonym Elia to write (10[1])“A Dissertation (10[1])Upon Roast Pig.” ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
