This book provides an expansive view of celebrity's intimate
dimensions. In the process, it offers a timely reassessment of how
notions of private and public were negotiated by writers, readers,
actors and audiences in the early to mid-eighteenth century. The
essays assembled here explore the lives of a wide range of figures:
actors and actresses, but also politicians, churchmen, authors and
rogues; some who courted celebrity openly and others who seemed to
achieve it almost inadvertently. At a time when the topic of
celebrity's origins is attracting unprecedented scholarly
attention, this collection is an important, pioneering resource.
