Celebrity Across the Channel, 1750–1850Celebrity 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 Liltis seminal work, The Invention of Celebrity, translated into English in 2017.
