CHAPTER 2: FAME THRUST UPON THEM

1 This quote from Cholly Knickerbocker’s gossip column is taken from Gioia Diliberto’s biography, Debutante: The Story of Brenda Frazier. She says she found it in The New York Journal-American in 1936, but the newspaper only acquired this name in 1937, after a merger, so it was likely published in the New York American in 1936.

53 I’m grateful to Dr Kate Cook of Manchester University for her guidance here. She mentioned a handful of plays, most notably Helen by Euripides, but noted to me that δύσκλεια is not commonly found in literary texts.
54 My thanks to Prof. Llewelyn Morgan at Brasenose College, University of Oxford, and Prof, Sarah Bond at the University of Iowa for their advice on this. See Sarah Bond, ‘Altering Infamy: Status, Violence, and Civic Exclusion in Late Antiquity’, Classical Antiquity, vol. 33, issue 1 (2014).
55 Thanks to the lexicographer Susie Dent for this information. Infamy, first used in 1380, seems to have derived from the Old French infamie, which itself came from the Latin infamia. Notorious comes from the Latin notus, meaning known or recognised.
