   If these first steps toward pursuing a writing career are acknowledged in her autobiography, A Colored Woman in a White World, published by a vanity press in 1940, her efforts to do so between college and her rise to national prominence are most candidly and carefully recorded in the diaries that she kept during a two-year stay in Europe. Between August 26, 1888 and February 3, 1889, Mary Church penned forty-eight entries ranging from brief comments on the day's activities to extended discussions of her writing and her awareness of the responsibility that accompanied her socioeconomic privilege. The voice that emerges is youthful, passionate, and at times quite eloquent, a significant feat given that French was Church's fifth language (in addition to studying German from childhood on, she mastered Greek and Latin while enrolled in the Classical Course at Oberlin). The result is an intimate portrait of a young woman who, in the midst of one remarkable experience, senses that she is on the cusp of still greater change. Read less

   This examination of Henri Frederic Amiel's Journal Intime, written by Walter Horatio Pater and extracted from the 19th-century literary periodical The Guardian, notes that "[c]ertain influential expressions of opinion have attracted much curiosity to Amiel's Journal Intime, both in France, where the book has already made its mark [in 1886], and in England, where Mrs. Humphry Ward's translation is likely to make it widely known among all serious lovers of good literature...[T]here is much in the book, thus effectively presented to the English reader, to attract those who interest themselves in the study of the finer types of human nature, of literary expression, of metaphysical and practical philosophy; to attract, above all, those interested in such philosophy, at points where it touches upon questions of religion, and especially at the present day." (Essays from 'The Guardian') The literary, poetic and philosophical attributes of Amiel's Journal Intime are considered. Excerpts from the text are provided. Read less
