Celebrity Across the Channel, 1750-1850 is the first book to study
and compare the concept of celebrity in France and Britain from
1750 to 1850 as the two countries transformed into the states we
recognize today. It offers a transnational perspective by placing
in dialogue the growing fields of celebrity studies in the two
countries, especially by engaging with Antoine Lilti’s seminal
work, The Invention of Celebrity, translated into English in 2017.
With contributions from a diverse range of scholarly cultures, the
volume has a firmly interdisciplinary scope over the time period
1750 to 1850, which was an era marked by social, political, and
cultural upheaval. Bringing together the fields of history,
politics, literature, theater studies, and musicology, the volume
employs a firmly interdisciplinary scope to explore an era marked
by social, political, and cultural upheaval. The organization of
the collection allows for new readings of the similarities and
differences in the understanding of celebrity in Britain and
France. Consequently, the volume builds upon the questions that are
currently at the heart of celebrity studies.
