Exploring the diary as a literary form, this book examines the unique approaches of six notable writers, including Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. It highlights how diaries, often perceived as formless, actually reflect the complexities of self-representation through gaps and continuities in entries. The analysis reveals how editorial choices can significantly alter the portrayal of a diarist's life, emphasizing that all diaries are constructed narratives shaped by the writer's engagement with the form.
