While the public declarations of the Supreme Court and the private declamations of the lyric poet may seem unrelated, both express the upheavals in American notions of privacy that marked the Cold War era. Nelson situates the poetry and legal decisions as part of a far wider anxiety about privacy that erupted across the social, cultural, and political spectrum during this period. She explores the panic over the "death of privacy" aroused by broad changes in postwar culture: the growth of suburbia, the advent of television, the popularity of psychoanalysis, the arrival of computer databases, and the spectacles of confession associated with McCarthyism.Examining this interchange between poetry and law at its most intense moments of reflection in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, Deborah Nelson produces a rhetorical analysis of a privacy concept integral to postwar America's self-definition and to bedrock contradictions in Cold War ideology. Nelson argues that the desire to stabilize privacy in a constitutional right and the movement toward confession in postwar American poetry were not simply manifestations of the anxiety about privacy. Supreme Court justices and confessional poets such as Anne Sexton, Robert Lowell, W. D. Snodgrass, and Sylvia Plath were redefining the nature of privacy itself. Close reading of the poetry alongside the Supreme Court's shifting definitions of privacy in landmark decisions reveals a broader and deeper cultural metaphor at work. 410 0$aGender and Culture Series 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPrivacy in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPrivacy, Right of$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPrivacy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAutobiography in literature 606 $aConfession in literature 606 $aCold War in literature 606 $aSelf in literature 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPrivacy in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aPrivacy, Right of$xHistory 615 0$aPrivacy$xHistory 615 0$aAutobiography in literature. 615 0$aConfession in literature. 615 0$aCold War in literature. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 676 $a811.54080355 700 $aNelson$b Deborah$f1962-$01556699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779972303321 996 $aPursuing privacy in Cold War America$93819614 997 $aUNINA
