'Brilliantly original . . . endlessly fascinating and full of surprises' – Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen'An intricate cultural history . . . thought-provoking' - The Sunday Times'A nuanced, thoughtful history of this slippery concept' – Kate Fox, author of Watching the EnglishA Financial Times 'What to read in 2025' BookFrom ancient times to our digital present, Strangers and Intimates traces the dramatic emergence of private life, and argues that it is now in mortal danger.

In this sweeping history, acclaimed cultural historian Tiffany Jenkins takes readers on an epic journey, from the strict separations of public and private in ancient Athens to the moral rigidity of the Victorian home, and from the feminists of the 1970s who declared that ‘the personal is political’ to the boundary-blurring demands of our digital age.

Strangers and Intimates is both a celebration of the private realm and a warning: as social media, surveillance and the expectations of constant openness reshape our lives, Jenkins asks a timely question: can private life survive the demands of the twenty-first century?

Sleek, Stylish, and Functional
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Neon Yellow
I recently purchased this Calvin Klein wallet, and it absolutely lives up to the brand's reputation for quality and style. The leather is smooth, soft, and has a clean, professional finish. You can tell it’s made from quality materials. Fits easily in my pocket without being bulky, even with multiple cards and some cash. Plenty of card slots, a clear ID window, and a well-designed bill compartment. Everything is easy to access. The CK logo is subtle but classy—not too flashy, just the right touch of elegance.
