Know about the book -

The Art of Scandal is written by Sean Latham and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199922934 (ISBN 10) and 9780199922932 (ISBN 13).

Latham proposes that writers and readers throughout the early 20th century revived the codes and habits of the roman à clef as part of a larger assault on Victorian realism - modernism. He elaborates a concept of modernism that weaves coterie culture with the mass media, psychology with celebrity, and literature with the law.
