AB  - This volume is the first study of the diary in French writing across the 20th century, as a genre which includes both fictional and non-fictional works. From the 1880s it became apparent to writers in France that their diaries - a supposedly private form of writing - would probably come to be published, strongly affecting the way their readers viewed their other published works, and their very persona as an author. More than any other, André Gide embraced the literary potential of the diary: the first part of this book follows his experimentation with the diary in the fictional works 'Les Cahiers d'André Walter' and 'Paludes', in his diary of the composition of his great novel, 'Le Journal des Faux-Monnayeurs,' and in his monumental Journal 1889-1939.
