Victorian Celebrity Culture and Tennyson's Circle (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Tennyson experienced at first hand the all-pervasive nature of celebrity culture. It caused him to retreat from the eyes of the world. This book delineates Tennyson's reluctant celebrity and its effects on his writings, on his coterie of famous and notable friends and on the ever-expanding, media-led circle of Tennyson's admirers.

Rezensionen

"[The authors'] engaging and attentive close readings of different media ally them to the methods of new formalism". Clara Dawson, The Tennyson Society
