Secret nation/nation of secrets -- pt. 2. Secret selves -- pt. 3. (The) other('s) secrets. 330 $aPredicated upon the principles of political freedom, cultural openness, religious tolerance, individual self-reliance and ethnic diversity, the United States of America has been tempted recurrently by the lures of the secret. This political, historical and cultural phenomenon is explored here from many, often surprisingly overlapping angles in these analyses of the literary and cultural uses and abuses of secrecy within a democratic culture. These essays reveal the politics within the poetics and, indissociably, the poetics fueling the politics of secrecy in its ambivalent deployment. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSecrecy in literature 606 $aSecrecy$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSecrecy$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSecrecy in literature. 615 0$aSecrecy$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSecrecy$xSocial aspects 676 $a810.9/355 701 $aBarros-Grela$b Eduardo$f1974-$0906723 701 $aListe?-Noya$b Jose$f1962-$0906724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456671703321 996 $aAmerican secrets$92027877 997 $aUNINA
