Includes bibliographical references and index.
The retreat of allegory -- The liberal panopticon -- Inviolate personality -- The return of allegory -- Towards a theory of liberal reading.
Spanning nearly 500 years of cultural and social history, this text examines the ways that literature and surveillance have developed together, as kindred modern practices. The authors show that, since the Renaissance, changes in observation strategies have driven innovations in literature; literature in turn has provided a laboratory and forum for the way we think about surveillance and privacy.
