Sentiment and Celebrity Description
In an original contribution to the contested historiography on the emergence of America's middle class, Baker is the first to note the remarkable impact the cult of celebrity played in this phenomenon. Consequently, this study of N.P. Willis speaks broadly to the social and cultural changes that were fundamentally altering nineteenth century America. Sentiment and Celebrity tells the story of the man whom The New York Times once called "the most-talked-aboutauthor in America." An admired, if controversial, master of the sentimental appeal, the poet and "magazinist" N.P.Willis (1806-1867) helped to pioneer the modern business of celebrity.

Sentiment and Celebrity tells the story of a man the New York Times once called the most talked-about author in America. A widely admired if controversial master of the sentimental appeal poet and magazinist Nathaniel Parker Willis (1806-1867) was a pioneer in the modern business of celebrity. By charting the shape and thrust of the various controversies that surrounded Willis this book shows how the cultural and commercial impulses that fostered the development of antebellum America's love affair with fame and fashion drew power and sustenance from the concurrent allure of genteel cultivation and sentiment.
