Although both national sites of commemoration and Halls of Fame for a variety of human endeavours are widespread, little thought was given to the fact that the statues in the Forum Augustum were the first assemblage of this kind. This book identifies the Greek and Roman backgrounds to and influences on Augustus' decision as well as his probable motives for setting up these statues. The central chapters deal with the structure of the Forum and its statues, and provide a detailed analysis of the list of men (and women) known to have been included and the criteria for inclusion. Finally the additions to the heroes between Augustus and Trajan and the later impact of this Gallery of Heroes are discussed.

This study challenges the long held view the Chaucer fled the prison of effete French court verse to become the 'natural' English father poet and charts a new model of Chaucerian poetic development that discovers the emergence of a queer aesthetic in his work.

Le XVIIIe siècle a été inventif : aux saints et aux rois, il a ajouté les hommes illustres dont l'ultime demeure est le Panthéon, ainsi que les hommes célèbres de la nation destinés à être collationnés dans les dictionnaires, un peu plus tardivement les femmes auteurs recensées comme il se doit par l'une d'entre elles ; plus que tout, il a inventé la célébrité en tant que telle, produit de consommation collective immédiat. C'est l'objet de ce livre que de montrer que la publicité qui prend forme dans le milieu du siècle, si l'on suit les analyses classiques de Jürgen Habermas, s'est accompagnée d'une pratique déroutante si l'on attend que ce soit la rationalité et l'esprit critique qui aient pu profiter de cette nouvelle forme d'échange, puisque c'est la célébrité, forme abâtardie de la gloire, qui influence les foules moutonnières, dans une caricature de la démocratie. Dans ce livre enraciné dans les meilleures traditions de l'histoire sociale, attentives aux études de cas comme aux grandes tendances collectives, l'auteur, connu pour son étude précédente du monde des salons et de la mondanité parisienne au XVIIIe siècle, continue sa lecture, roborative, des pratiques sociales du passé en les confrontant aux usages très contemporains. Dès les premières lignes, le ton est donné puisque Marie-Antoinette est comparée à Lady Di à propos du tournage du film de Sofia Coppola. L'anachronisme est revendiqué comme méthode, puisque la notion même de célébrité permet de renouveler la compréhension de la société du XVIIIe siècle comme de comprendre à quel point la pipolisation contemporaine copie ce qui se faisait deux siècles plus tôt.--

"The Latin word fama means 'rumour', 'report', 'tradition', as well as modern English 'fame' or 'renown'. This magisterial and groundbreaking study in the literary and cultural history of rumour and renown, by one of the most influential living critics of Latin poetry, examines the intricate dynamics of their representations from Homer to Alexander Pope, with a focus on the power struggles played out within attempts to control the word, both spoken and written. Central are the personifications of Fama in Virgil and Ovid and the rich progeny spawned by them, but the book focuses on a wide range of genres other than epic, and on a variety of modes of narrating, dramatising, critiquing, and illustrating fama. Authors given detailed readings include Livy, Tacitus, Petrarch, Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and Milton"--
