Diary Poetics synopsis

These memos are the type that is often seen as fundamentally groundless, which is a "total retention" of the author's ideas, as well as providing unsubstantiated access to the true self of the searcher. With an emphasis on the diary of Katharine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Antonia White, Joe Orton, John Shafer, and Sylvia Plath.

This book looks at how six different professional writers approach the diary in terms of their special needs and literary potential. As a series of separate entries, memos consist of both gaps and continuity, and the different ways in which bloggers negotiate these aspects of diary form have drastic effects on how their diary representations of the world and biography are represented.

Various published editions of the journals by Catherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath show how editorial decisions can sometimes build different images of biographies. However, all diaries are created, and all day-to-day constructions depend on how the author works with the diary form..
