This book maps the history of literary celebrity from the early
nineteenth century to the present, paying special attention to the
authors' crafting of their writerly self as well as the afterlife
of their public image. Case studies are John Keats, Edgar Allan
Poe, Eliza Cook, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, J.D.
Salinger and Zadie Smith. Literary celebrity is part and parcel of
modern literary culture, yet it continues to raise intriguing
questions about the nature of authorship, writerly fame and the
tension between authorial self-fashioning and public appropriation.
This volume provides unique insights into the phenomenon.
