Reading the Early Modern English Diary

Autor Miriam Nandi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2022
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.

Recenzii

“Miriam Nandi’s Reading the Early Modern English Diary offers an interesting psychoanalytic and historical reading of early modern English diaries by Margaret Hoby, Anne Clifford, Ralph Josselin, and Samuel Pepys. … This is still a rewarding study, though. Nandi’s book is written in a crisp, interesting style, often with felicitous distinctions, and with clear argumentation throughout. … Nandi illuminates the early modern diary, and her analytical work is richly suggestive and worth the reading.” (Elizabeth Hodgson, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 75 (4), 2022)

Caracteristici

Combines formalist, genre-oriented analyses with historically-informed psychoanalytic models to develop new approaches in diary criticism Sheds light on a range of questions in early modern studies, from writing practices to practical theology, to women’s writing and the construction of selfhood or inwardness Analyses the “narrative identity” that is constructed in diaries from new angles that address the fragmented character of the texts into account
