Dr. Sarah Allison (English) published her book, The Rise of Celebrity Authorship (Columbia University Press). From the book’s description: “Literary celebrity in the nineteenth century emerged from a miscellaneous array of trending print forms, including antislavery writing, which was a popular, consumable form of literature in the period. Antislavery print culture could function as pop culture, leveraging cultural myths about gender and authorship through print forms that connected readers with writers.”
