First published in 2009, this book investigates the cultural
significance of nineteenth-century women's writing and reading
practices. Beginning with an examination of non-fictional diaries
and the practice of diary writing, it assesses the interaction
between the fictional diary and other forms of literary production
such as epistolary narrative, the periodical, the factual document
and sensation fiction. The discrepancies between the private diary
and its use as a narrative device are explored through the writings
of Frances Burney, Elizabeth Gaskell, Anne Bronte, Dinah Craik,
Wilkie Collins and Bram Stoker. It also considers women as writers,
readers and subjects and demonstrates ways in which women could
become performers of their own story through a narrative method
which was authorized by their femininity and at the same time
allowed them to challenge the myth of domestic womanhood. This book
will be of interest to those studying 19th century literature and
women in literature.
