Reading the Early Modern Diary traces the historical genealogy,
formal characteristics, and shifting cultural uses of the early
modern English diary. It explores the possibilities and limitations
the genre held for the self-expression of a writer at a time which
considerably pre-dated the Romantic cult of the individual self.
The book analyzes the connections between genre and
self-articulation: How could the diary come to be associated with
emotional self-expression given the tedium and repetitiveness of
its early seventeenth-century ancestors? How did what were once
mere lists of daily events evolve into narrative representations of
inner emotions? What did it mean to write on a daily basis, when
the proper use of time was a heavily contested issue? Reading the
Early Modern Diary addresses these questions and develops new
theoretical frameworks for discussing interiority and affect in
early modern autobiographical texts.
