Canadian, American, and British scholars explore the mutually determining relationship of modernism and modern celebrity culture in this innovative collection. Illuminating case studies of subjects both predictable (Virginia Woolf and F. Scott Fitzgerald) and surprising (Elvis and Hitler) are balanced by attention to broader issues related to modernist aesthetics, such as celebrity's relationship to identity, commodification, print culture, personality, visual cultures, and theatricality.
