The diary is a genre that is often thought of as virtually formless, a "capacious hold-all" for the writer s thoughts, and as offering unmediated access to the diarist s true self. Focusing on the diaries of Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Antonia White, Joe Orton, John Cheever, and Sylvia Plath, this book looks at how six very different professional writers have approached the diary form with its particular demands and literary potential.
