Pursuing Privacy in Cold War America by Deborah Nelson
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.
[Nelson's] approach is often provocative and her research exhaustiveChoice Rethinks confessional poetry in liberating ways... rich insights. Modernism/ Modernity Nelson cogently details the emergence of women's privacy as an act of confession and examines confessional poets such as Plath and Sexton, whose personal self-disclosures anticipate the Supreme Court's emerging interpretation of prviacy as no longer available in silence. -- Shelly Eversley American Literature Refusing to simplify, she produces what might well be one of the most intellectually challenging and provactive views of lyric poetry in the postwar years -- Edward Brunner Contemporary Literature
