"The Feminization of Fame 1750-1830" addresses the literary,
cultural and historical questions surrounding the
reconceptualization of fame between 1750-1830. As the first
sustained scholarly analysis of fame in this period, this
interdisciplinary book examines genres from history writing to
literature, public and private memoirs to political treatises in
English and in French in order to explore 'The age of
personality's' obsession with instantaneous publicity. In an age of
expanding print culture, the classical notion of posthumous reward
was becoming increasingly open to question, as the need 'to be
brilliant', as Hazlitt put it, in the contemporary moment became
all.
