Sobre este artículo
London: Atlantic Books, 2002. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. xii + 363 pages. 30 illustrations. Newspaper and magazine gossip is one of the great, uncelebrated British obsessions, much denounced and much devoured. This is the first book to relate the history of gossip in both the British and American press over the last three centuries.In this invigorating account we meet gossip luminaries such as Daniel Defoe; Joseph Addison and Richard Steele who founded the Tatler and the Spectator; Walter Winchell, whose whose column in New York was first to expose Frank Sinatra's Mafia links; and Tom Driberg, author for many years of the William Hickey column in the Daily Express. The book shows how gossip columns have often functioned as a prism through which we construct a warts-and-all picture of our times. **** NOT EX LIB **** L. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
