Pursuing Privacy in Cold War America

List of contents

Summary

Explores the relationship between confessional poetry and constitutional privacy doctrine, both of which emerged at the end of the 1950s. This book explores the panic over the 'death of privacy' aroused by changes in postwar culture: the growth of suburbia, the advent of television, and the popularity of psychoanalysis.
