A kaleidoscopic portrait... [Dianaworld] achieves the difficult task of finding a novel take on the much-discussed former royal., Dianaworld is very well done... and it is that unexpected thing in this field: something of a contribution to knowledge., [E]quitable and ecumenical... White ensures that readers will appreciate the phenomenal impact this often misunderstood yet perennially alluring woman has made on the culture., I didn't think it possible to produce an interesting book about Princess Diana at this juncture, but, by George, White has done it... There is an admirable intelligence at work here., Vivid... [Dianaworld] dives into the worldwide fascination with Princess Diana and how it has lasted long after her death., Lively, deeply researched... [Dianaworld] is an ingenious solution to the problem of biography in an age of global celebrity., Devotees of the 'People's Princess' will revel in White's explorations of the territory behind the curtain.

Synopsis
Over the last forty years, the mythology of Princess Diana has turned the woman who was born Diana Spencer into a symbol for almost anything. From a harbinger of Brexit populism, an all-American consumer capitalist, and the savior of the British aristocracy, to a catalyst for #MeToo and--in the words of one superfan--"the biggest punk that's come out of England," Diana connects with a wider array of people than any member of the royal family ever has. We feel so familiar with Diana that it seems crushingly formal to use anything but her first name. In Dianaworld, Edward White guides us through this strange precinct of a global cultural obsession. It's a place of mass delusions, outsized fantasies and quixotic dreams; of druids, psychics, Hollywood stars, obsessive stalkers, radical feminists, and Middle Eastern generals. In a signature, innovative "exploded biography," White offers both a portrait of the princess, and group portraits of those who knew her intimately; those who worked with and for her; and the many ordinary people whose connection to Diana reveals her unique and enduring legacy. White draws on a kaleidoscopic array of sources and perspectives never before used in books about Diana or the royal family--from interviews with sex workers and professional lookalikes, to the Mass Observation social research project and the Great Diary Project in Britain, and the peculiar work of outsider artists. Diana would have approved of her posthumous title, "the People's Princess": the image of a royal with a pauper's soul was exactly how she marketed herself. In Dianaworld, White explores Diana Spencer--the person and the cultural figure--by re-creating the world Diana lived in and illuminating her lasting impact on the world she left behind., A fascinating new perspective on the life and afterlife of Diana, Princess of Wales, the planet's all-purpose cultural icon., Over the last forty years, the mythology of Princess Diana has turned the woman who was born Diana Spencer into a symbol for almost anything.

- j***o (2)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThis is the third product I have bought from this seller, and I have been pleased each time. The price of the product was super reasonable, especially with free shipping. the quality was also just as listed. No tears or nothing. The packaging arrived a little torn, but I wouldn't blame the seller for that.
- a***4 (1775)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem arrived in a timely manner, but unfortunately during shipping a hole developed in the poly mailer, and in some rainy or wet condition the corner of the book got wet. I contacted the seller, and after drying the pages the seller agreed to discount the item. The book was not wrapped with any protection inside the poly mailer and may have contributed to the hole. Seller was prompt with messaging and felt the discount he offered was fair. The original description provided was accurate.
