Making Stars

Biography and Celebrity in Eighteenth-Century Britain

Herausgeber: Nachumi, Nora; Straub, Kristina

In bringing biography and celebrity together, the essays in this volume interrogate contemporary and current understandings of each. Contributors present a picture of eighteenth-century celebrity that was mediated across multiple sites, demonstrating that celebrity culture was more pervasive, diverse and egalitarian than previously supposed.
