Although the diary novel is often regarded as a twentieth-century
genre due to its particular popularity in this century, the form
actually has a long history that originates in the eighteenth
century. The Diary Novel is the first book to trace that history,
concentrating on French, German and English works with some
attention given to Russian and Scandinavian traditions as well.
Beginning with a discussion of the definition of the diary novel
and some observations about genre study and criticism, Lorna
Martens proceeds with interpretations of major diary novels by
writers such as Defoe, Gide, Rilke, Frisch, Butor and Lessing. The
Diary Novel includes sections on the influence of Richardson and
the letter journal novel, the publication of the journaux intimes,
psychological fiction, reliability of the narrator and the
contemporary diary novel.
