In this 2005 book, Aaron Jaffe investigates the relationship between two phenomena that arrived on the historical stage in the early twentieth century: modernist literature and celebrity culture. Jaffe uses substantial archival research to show how literary fame was made by exploiting the very market forces that modernists claimed to reject.
