Editors’ Acknowledgements
We would like to express our thanks to our families, to all our contributors, to everyone who attended our Celebrity and Intimacy panel at BSECS 2017, and also to colleagues past and present at the University of Exeter, the University of Greenwich and King’s College London. We have both benefited from fellowships at Chawton House Library in the time since we first began planning this volume; it is a wonderful resource and scholarly refuge to which we are both grateful. For permission to use our beautiful cover illustration, we must thank its owner David Coke. We hope that the various ideas and characters that populate this book do justice to the buoyant society represented in the image.
