Book Description
Diaristic writing has often been relegated to the fringes of literary studies as a marginal cultural activity. This volume seeks to challenge that marginality by exploring some of the wide-ranging forms of literary practice encompassed by diaristic writing in Europe from the Renaissance to the present day. The volume deals with questions of the value and status of the diary, of the functioning of the diary in society and history, and of the reception and interpretation of the multifarious forms of first-person daily writing. The volume investigates diaries across national borders and linguistic boundaries, so as to make the hitherto marginal place of the private journal a site of fruitful interdisciplinary encounters. Australian, British, Catalonian, French, German and Italian critics examine diaries dating from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, within the context of the literature, history and literary history of Catalonia, England, France, Germany and Italy. A prime concern of the essays in this collection is to highlight the cultural, generic and historical diversity of the diary, while emphasising the points of convergence between different texts and differing critical approaches to the texts. The volume will be of interest to students and teachers of European and comparative literature.

Book Description
Nelligan est l’un des rares poètes, sinon le seul, dont il est possible de suivre pas à pas la démarche créatrice. En effet, les nombreux articles de journaux et de revues qui relatent les événements qu’il a vécus, les témoignages à son endroit, ce qu’on a rapporté de ses paroles et ses propres poèmes, lorsqu’ils sont conjugués, permettent non seulement de corriger et de compléter certaines allégations qui ont été avancées à son sujet, mais ils révèlent la remarquable lucidité avec laquelle il a perçu son entourage et l’implacable logique qui a présidé au choix de chacun de ses thèmes. On a, bien sûr, mentionné par le passé l’influence que certains auteurs ont exercée sur lui et on a attiré l’attention sur l’amitié qui le liait à quelques-uns de ses proches, notamment Demers, Lanctôt, Mélançon, Françoise, le père Seers et, d’une façon toute particulière, Arthur de Bussières; mais jamais, jusqu’à ce jour, n’avait-il été démontré en quoi ils avaient infléchi le cours de son destin et de son écriture. On ne savait jusqu’à maintenant quand, pourquoi et comment on en était venu à recourir au mythe de la folie pour justifier l’internement de Nelligan, qui en avait décidé ainsi, dans quel but on a perpétué cette imposture et comment on a décrit et justifié, contre toute logique, l’invraisemblable origine de sa «maladie». Or voici que ce Journal intime vient combler cette lacune, non seulement parce qu’il offre aux inconditionnels de Nelligan l’occasion de reconstituer la trame de son fulgurant parcours, mais aussi parce qu’il met à la disposition de tous les amateurs de poésie un outil pédagogique indispensable pour comprendre les rouages du processus créateur.

Book Description
"Five months before her death of tuberculosis in 1884, Marie Bashkirtseff, an aspiring artist and a would-be mondaine, composed a preface to her personal diary. In it, she brazenly declared that in the event of her early death her diary was to be published. Three years later, a truncated version of the diary appeared. Translated into English, championed by Barres and Gladstone, taken up by young diarists from France to the US, the diary created a major sensation, remaining standard reading for young women in both the anglophone and francophone worlds until the 1930s. The first full-length study to explore the questions that reading Bashkirtseff's journal raises with respect to both genre and gender construction, Personal Effects examines the genre and gender issues at stake in Bashkirtseff's bid to go public with the personal, and explores the discursive strategies by which Bashkirtseff writes her journal from the private context of its keeping to a public context of reading. Wilson reads the diary as a performance of writing, one in which a display of the personal mediates between the subjective and the social, the private and the public."
