Are there classic historical essays on the concept of celebrity? Something that would be appropriate for an undergraduate? Not, that is, Antoine Lilti on Rousseau. Could be focused on the 20th century, but needn't be. 🗃️ - ThreadSky

I wrote an essay for a forthcoming Bloomsbury series on the history of fame so there will, one day, be that series. But in the meantime I could send you the essay so you could see the bibliography?
