Victorian Celebrity Culture and Tennyson's Circle

Produktbeschreibung

Charlotte Boyce is a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Portsmouth, UK. She has published essays on Victorian cookery books and Victorian representations of hunger and famine, and is currently co-writing A History of Food in Literature.

Páraic Finnerty is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Portsmouth, UK. He is the author of Emily Dickinson's Shakespeare (2006) and of the forthcoming Dickinson and her British Contemporaries.

Anne-Marie Millim gained her PhD in Victorian Literature from the University of Glasgow in 2009. She was involved in the University of Portsmouth's project 'Tennyson's Celebrity Circle', then received a two-year postdoctoral research grant by the Luxembourg National Research Fund and is now principal investigator of an FNR-funded three-year research project on the feuilleton in Luxembourg.


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.
