Antislavery print culture could function as a pop culture, leveraging cultural myths about gender and authorship through print forms that connected readers with writers: printed collections of author signatures, descriptions of writers’ homes, autobiography, biography, and travel writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rise of Celebrity Authorship\u003c\/em\u003e traces surprising relations among figures and across shared forms in the period: What do antislavery forms and figures tell us about literary celebrity and the networks of transatlantic print culture?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Danielle Allison illuminates the collective creation of celebrity by tracing unexpected connections within this anarchic nineteenth-century literary marketplace. Bringing together book history with more recent computational approaches, \u003cem\u003eThe Rise of Celebrity Authorship\u003c\/em\u003e shifts focus from the conventional literary work of major writers to the breadth of print forms circulating around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllison considers a variety of texts adjacent to the novel, including Edgar Allan Poe’s satire of autograph collecting, antislavery gift books, and a Southern travelogue by the Swedish writer Frederika Bremer. She draws striking parallels between two starkly different 1858 texts: Elizabeth Gaskell’s biography of Charlotte Brontë, which sought to unearth the reality behind \u003cem\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/em\u003e, and Josiah Henson’s autobiography, which circulated as the life of the “original Uncle Tom.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rich account of the competing and complementary forces that shape images of authors, this book reveals the collaborative work of literary production and celebrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46795492065516,"sku":"9780231209717","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8153873482270.jpg?v=1757033835"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sarah-danielle-allison.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
