Abstract

Abstract Coffee was a foreign product in Britain, only introduced during the Post-Medieval period. The introduction was not smooth as it was viewed as a drink from the Moors or the Turks. Two groups emerged – one favouring coffee and one deriding it – and the conflicts were depicted in books, pamphlets, and leaflets of that era. Coffee faced opposition from other beverage sellers as it became a threat to their existing businesses. During its initial days, there was even a call for a baptism of the drink to wash out its “Satanic influence”. Coffee, seen as a medicine in its earlier days in Britain, became an essential part of everyday life in the late 17 th century. Coffee houses became a place for public gatherings where social, political, and business discussions took place. This paper will explore the discussions and debates revolving around coffee in 17 th -Century English Literature.

17世纪英国文学中咖啡的正反论证
咖啡在英国是舶来品,直到中世纪后期才被引入英国。引进过程并不顺利,因为它被视为来自摩尔人或土耳其人的饮料。出现了两个群体——一个喜欢咖啡,一个嘲笑咖啡——冲突被描述在那个时代的书籍、小册子和传单中。咖啡受到了其他饮料销售商的反对,因为它威胁到了他们现有的业务。在最初的日子里,甚至有人呼吁对这种饮料进行洗礼,以洗掉它的“撒旦影响”。咖啡在英国早期被视为一种药物,在17世纪后期成为日常生活中必不可少的一部分。咖啡馆成为公众聚会的场所,人们在这里进行社会、政治和商业讨论。本文将探讨17世纪英国文学中围绕咖啡的讨论和争论。
