US? Suppose someone is suddenly exposed to a barrage of media attention

Based on exactly when and where, there were a lot of writers who are still well known today and therefore have recognizable names for your readers. Here are my favorites outside of the U.S. (obviously I've read more 19th century writers):

1700's
Robert Burns,
Daniel Dafoe,
Henry Fielding,
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
Jonathan Swift,
Voltaire

1800's
Louisa May Alcott,
Hans Christian Andersen,
Jane Austen,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
the BrontÃ« sisters,
Lord Byron,
Lewis Carroll,
Anton Chekhov,
Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
Emily Dickinson,
Charles Dickens,
Arthur Conan Doyle,
Alexandre Dumas,
George Eliot,
Gustave Flaubert,
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,
Thomas Hardy,
Victor Hugo,
Henrik Ibsen,
Henry James,
John Keats,
Rudyard Kipling,
Guy de Maupassant

Hope this helps.
