Rezensionen

"An exciting project, one that seeks to renew the field of star studies by enlarging its purview and bringing it into the present moment" - Amy Villarejo, Cornell University, USA

"This important new book stakes out the breadth of current work on the attractions and obsessions of celebrity culture. Fame, power, adoration, idolization, gossip, madness, and death are all here. Framing Celebrity poses significant questions about the mediation of public identities and the popular figures who undeniably exert such influence in our lives" - Dr Paul McDonald, Roehampton University, UK
