This volume brings together a number of contributors to look at how and why certain writers have attained celebrity throughout history. How were their images as celebrities constructed by themselves and in complicity with their fans? And how did that process and its effects differ from country to country and era to era? AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Gaston Franssen is assistant professor of literary culture at the University of Amsterdam. Rick Honings is assistant professor of Dutch studies at Leiden University.
