HA: [SEELANGS] public reading of diary as literary trope

[Olga Bukhina]

If you need an American example, Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (1964) is a good example of reading someone's diary to these who are criticized in the diary.

Тема: [SEELANGS] public reading of diary as literary trope



Dear Colleagues,
I'm writing about a 1910 story in which someone's diary is discovered and
read aloud to an audience, including those whom the writer had been
privately criticizing.  This scene feels familiar to me, as though I had
read something like it elsewhere, but right now I can't think of any
examples of it in Russian or European literature.  Can any of you think of
an example of this?
gratefully,
Gabriella
