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 19th-century Britain, examining debates about mass communication and state surveillance that link to today's concerns.

Walt Whitman is a poet of contexts. His poetic practice was one of observing, absorbing, and then reflecting the world around him. Walt Whitman in Context provides brief, provocative explorations of thirty-eight different contexts - geographic, literary, cultural, and political - through which to engage Whitman's life and work. Written by distinguished scholars of Whitman and nineteenth-century American literature and culture, this collection synthesizes scholarly and historical sources and brings together new readings and original research.
