Description

Cleo de Merode and the Rise of Modern Celebrity Culture is the first English-language monograph exploring the life and legacy of the French dancer and model who became an international sensation at the dawn of mass visual culture. This scholarly study examines how technological innovations, particularly the circulation of postcards, transformed Merode into one of history's earliest examples of fame born from visual media rather than performance alone. The book situates Merode within the pivotal moment when celebrity culture shifted from traditional forms of renown to the star-struck modernity we recognise today, analysing how societal changes and new technologies reshaped the nature of fame and visual culture in the modern era.
