Privacy and Its Dilemmas in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Beschreibung

Taking his title from the catch-phrase of the eponymous hero of the 1825 play Paul Pry, a huge success in London, New York, and around the English-speaking world, David Vincent explores the worlds of privacy and celebrity in nineteenth-century Britain, examining debates about mass communication and state surveillance that link to today's concerns.
