Framing History - The Rosenberg Story and the Cold War

Klappentext In this book Virginia Carmichael offers a provocative new interpretation of the Rosenberg story. Carmichael argues that this social drama produced many stories serving multiple interests and functions, many of which confront the politics of both writing and reading. She also demonstrates that this story's resistance to closure-manifest in its repeated tellings in historiography, biography, literature, and the visual and performing arts-suggests its lasting cultural impact on a nation coming to terms with the end of the cold war era. Zusammenfassung Uses the story of the Rosenbergs (executed for espionage in 1953) to explore the function of narrative in the formation of history. Argues that the story was an embedded narrative in the developing Cold War! both required by that Cold War framework and furthering its construction.
