330. See, e.g., Janette Dillon, Shakespeare and the Solitary M an 3-13 (1981) (dis­
cussing approaches to solitude before Shakespeare’s time, which viewed a solitary
life as running counter to the good of the community). Solitude, which became a
coveted aspect of existence by the end of the seventeenth century, was viewed by
many as dangerous and undesirable during the Middle Ages. See Michel Rouche,
“Private Life Conquers State and Society,” in A H istory o f Private Life, vol. 1, From

(1994); see also Westin, Privacy and Freedom, 35 (“[N]o individual can play indefi­
nitely, without relief, the variety of roles that life demands.... Privacy in this as­
pect gives individuals, from factory workers to Presidents, a chance to lay their
masks aside for rest. To be always ‘on’ would destroy the human organism”).
336. For Thoreau, solitude fosters better social relationships because “we live
thick and are in each other’s way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we
thus lose some respect for one another.” Henry David Thoreau, Walden, in Walden
and Other W ritings 113 (Barnes & Noble Books 1993) (1854).
337. Many social, political, and religious leaders began their influential public
work with preparations performed in private. See, e.g., Joseph Bensman & Robert
Lilienfeld, Between Public and Private: The Lost Boundaries o f the S e lf37 (1979) (de­
scribing how a “religious hero[’s]” retreat to privacy would inspire followers on his
return to the public life); Richard H. Weisberg, “It’s a Positivist, It’s a Pragmatist,
It’s a Codifier! Reflections on Nietzsche and Stendhal,” 18 Cardozo Law Review 85,
92 (1996) (noting that for Nietzsche, “[t]he great legislator is himself (or herself)
conceived of as one whose act of social codification begins with a private program
of creative self-fulfillment”). Sixteenth-century French essayist Michel de Mon­
taigne contended that solitude—even for public figures—is not self-indulgent, for
“(t]hey have only stepped back to make a better jump, to get a stronger impetus
wherewith to plunge deeper into the crowd.” Michel de Montaigne, “Of Soli­
tude,” in The Complete Essays o f M ontaigne 174, 182 (Donald M. Frame trans.,
1958).
338. See, e.g., Restatement (Second) of Torts §652B cmt. c (1977) (“The defen­
dant is subject to liability_only when he has intruded into a private place, or has
otherwise invaded a private seclusion that the plaintiff has thrown about his person
or affairs”).
