Résumé / Abstract : "Writing Celebrity is divided into three major sections. The first part traces the rise of a national celebrity culture in the United States and examines the impact that this culture had on "literary" writing in the decades before World War II.

Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein"--
