In the Presence of Audience: Diaries, Lives, Fiction. by Deborah Martinson
Columbus: Ohio State UP, 2003.
“In the Presence of Audience is a substantial contribution to the current interest in non-fiction writing, whether that be termed life writing or autobiography or diary. Martinson goes beyond the usual—in her claims, and in her juxtapositions of diary with fiction in each author’s case. Her reading of Virginia Woolf—the longest in the book—is superb.” —Linda Wagner-Martin, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
“This solid study is likely to appeal to both an academic audience and members of the wider community with an interest in women’s diaries or women’s writing generally.” —Lee Edwards, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
“The strength of In the Presence of Audience
lies not only in Martinson’s original and provocative thesis but also in her
readings of diaries and diary relationships.”
