Books by Barbara Lounsberry

In this second volume of her acclaimed study of Virginia Woolf's multivolume diary, Barbara Lounsberry traces the English writer's life through the thirteen diaries she kept from 1918 to 1929. Lounsberry shows how Woolf's writing at this time was influenced by other diarists and how she continued to use her diaries as a way to experiment with form and her evolving modernist style.

Dr. Lounsberry then describes four characteristics of literary nonfiction and grounds these characteristics in contemporary works. The five chapters which follow this introduction thoroughly examine the works of five prominent, contemporary nonfiction artists.
