Oesterreichische Tagebuchschriftsteller Hrsg. von Donald G. Daviau

Authors' diaries represent a literary form that is not always recognized as such. So, too, diaries serve as invaluable sources of information, for they provide a more direct and intimate approach to the writers' inner world than can be found in the formal works. The explications of the diaries of a diverse group of major Austrian writers demonstrates the diversity of the form and the richness of the contents.
