Rising Star Paperback - 1999
by Garelick, Rhonda K.
Celebrity personalities, who reign over much of our cultural landscape, owe their fame not to deeds but the ability to project a distinct personal image, an icon of the self. Author Rhonda Garelick locates a prototype of the star personality in the dandies and aesthete literary figures of the 19th century, such as Beau Brummel and Oscar Wilde, comparing them with Prince, Madonna, Jackie O. and other dandy-like figures of today. 19 photos.
First line
THE MOST FAMOUS manifestos of French dandyism are Balzac's Traite de la vie elegante (1830), Barbey d'Aurevilly's essay on Beau Brummell (1843), and Baudelaire's Le Peintre de la vie moderne (1863).
From the rear cover
"A wonderfully written book that joins extensive and solid research with imaginative interpretation. Rhonda Garelick makes highly intelligent use of contemporary cultural critique, materials on queer performance, commodity merchandising, and interpretive mediation. I was fully engaged, entertained, and enlightened."--Mary Ann Caws, author of The Art of Interference and The Surrealist Look: An Erotics of Encounter
