Revision as of 12:05, 9 August 2007
This category concerns different classes, which possibly will be separated later on. For the moment it contains diaries, as well as private correspondence and autobiography – by men as well as by women.
Both groups are interesting in different ways: women’s private letters can be seen as replacement for impossible literary critique and participation in public debates. Not always however: Belle de Zuylen laughing at Lucie Bouiller seems typical for a private, and even a secret correspondence. As for letters by men: in some cases expressed opinions are to be confronted to what had been said in public: Potgieter for example, writing about George Sand in De Gids and in a letter to his friend and colleague Busken Huet.
Nowadays, this category of texts is sometimes well disclosed, in modern editions with beautiful indexes, or even in online searchable presentation.
