AB  - "This highly original study provides a detailed analysis of Catherine the Great's celebrity avant la lettre and how gender, power, and scandal made it commercially successful. In 1762, when Catherine II overthrew her husband to seize the throne of the Russian Empire, her instant popular fame across Europe both fitted and shaped the emerging discourse of modern celebrity. ... Catherine's demise in 1796, Dawson shows, instigated a final burst of adoration, loathing, and ambivalence as new accounts of her life, both real and fictional, claimed to upwrap the final secrets of the first modern international female celebrity--even now the only woman in history widely known as 'the Great'."--Back cover.
