The diary as a genre is found in all literate societies, and these autobiographical accounts are written by persons of all ranks and positions. The Diary offers an exploration of the form in its social, historical, and cultural-literary contexts with its own distinctive features, poetics, and rhetoric. The contributors to this volume examine theories and interpretations relating to writing and studying diaries; the formation of diary canons in the United Kingdom, France, United States, and Brazil; and the ways in which handwritten diaries are transformed through processes of publication and digitization. The authors also explore different diary formats, including the travel diary, the private diary, conflict diaries written during periods of crisis, and the diaries of the digital era, such as blogs. The Diary offers a comprehensive overview of the genre, synthesizing decades of interdisciplinary study to enrich our understanding of, research about, and engagement with the diary as literary form and historical documentation.
My First Diary
"A diary is a wonderful and thoughtful gift for any child." Keeping a diary helps positively mould your child's personality. It's one of the best gifts you can give your child. Young kids may have trouble expressing their emotions and remembering all the things they've done. Keeping a diary gives them a safe way to release emotions and stress and to record their experiences. Writing about their daily activities and accomplishments can also help increase self esteem. Of course we can't expect young children to write whole novels. That's why 'My first diary' has space to both write and draw. The lines are far enough apart for a child's bold handwriting and the layout is more appealing than a regular notebook. Since writing on the left size of a page is generally harder, only the right pages of this diary are used for writing. The empty left page can be used for additional drawings or to glue collected treasures such as museum entry tickets, stickers, notes from friends, postcards or other fun stuff. Keeping a diary is a great way to for kids to: Help express emotions in a safe way Record memories & life events Encourage reflection and engagement Help them organize their thoughts and ideas Improve a child's hand writing A young child's diary may simply consist of a drawing and a few words to describe each day. But it will still help them process the day and their emotions, as well as organize their thoughts. And as they get older, the routine of keeping a diary or journalling will help your child tremendously. So diary keeping is a great habit to cultivate. Why choose 'My first diary'? Only right sided pages to make for easier writing 120 pages for 60 days or writing & drawing Empty left page for additional drawing or to stick collected treasures Layout designed for young kids Perfect as a first diary for boys and girls age 6-8
Diaries of Girls and Women

Diaries of Girls and Women captures and preserves the diverse lives of forty-seven girls and women who lived in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin between 1837 and 1999—young schoolgirls, adolescents coming of age, newlywed wives, mothers grieving the loss of children, teachers, nurses, elderly women, Luxembourger immigrant nuns, and women traveling abroad. A compelling work of living history, it brings together both diaries from historical society archives and diaries still in possession of the diarists or their descendents. Editor Suzanne L. Bunkers has selected these excerpts from more than 450 diaries she examined. Some diaries were kept only briefly, others through an entire lifetime; some diaries are the intensely private record of a life, others tell the story of an entire family and were meant to be saved and appreciated by future generations. By approaching diaries as historical documents, therapeutic tools, and a form of literature, Bunkers offers readers insight into the self-images of girls and women, the dynamics of families and communities, and the kinds of contributions that girls and women have made, past and present. As a representation of the girls and women of varied historical eras, locales, races, and economic circumstances who settled and populated the Midwest, Diaries of Girls and Women adds texture and pattern to the fabric of American history.
