Description: In recent years, the study of celebrity has developed and cohered into a flourishing field of social and cultural analysis. The sheer scale of the available research exploring the many implications of the phenomenon of celebrity--and the breadth and complexity of the canon on which celebrity studies draws--makes this new Major Work from Routledge especially timely. It answers the urgent need for a wide-ranging collection which provides easy access to the key items of scholarly literature, material that is often inaccessible or scattered throughout a variety of specialist journals and books.
