Scholars from literary studies, American studies, and feminist surveillance studies, as well as surveillance researchers more generally, will benefit from reading Confessional Poetry in the Cold War. Those researching at the intersection of mental health and surveillance will find Beardsworth's monograph particularly useful as this is a recurring theme explored throughout.
