Personal Effects - Reading the Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff

Informationen zum Autor Sonia Wilson Klappentext Five months before her death of tuberculosis in 1884! Marie Bashkirtseff! an aspiring artist and a would-be mondaine! composed a preface to her personal diary. In it! she brazenly declared that in the event of her early death her diary was to be published. Three years later! a truncated version of the diary appeared. Zusammenfassung This book examines the genre and gender issues at stake in Marie Bashkirtseff's bid to go public with the personal. It explores the discursive strategies by which Bashkirtseff writes her journal from the private context of its keeping to a public context of reading. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction 1.
