Description

This groundbreaking volume combines biography, cultural history, and media studies to explore the emergence of philanthropy as a path to public fame during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The book examines how philanthropists became recognised as distinct public figures across Britain, France, and Poland between 1770 and 1830. Through comparative analysis of influential figures such as British prison reformer John Howard and other European humanitarians, the author investigates how public images of early philanthropists were shaped and constructed during this transformative period. The study reveals how philanthropy transitioned from a private virtue to a self-standing claim to celebrity, fundamentally changing the relationship between charitable work and public recognition in European society.
