Reading the Early Modern English Diary

“Miriam Nandi’s Reading the Early Modern English Diary offers an interesting psychoanalytic and historical reading of early modern English diaries by Margaret Hoby, Anne Clifford, Ralph Josselin, and Samuel Pepys. … This is still a rewarding study, though. Nandi’s book is written in a crisp, interesting style, often with felicitous distinctions, and with clear argumentation throughout. … Nandi illuminates the early modern diary, and her analytical work is richly suggestive and worth the reading.” (Elizabeth Hodgson, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 75 (4), 2022)
