The Art of Diary Writing

from Four Thought · host BBC Radio 4

Sally Bayley traces the art of diary writing from Samuel Pepys to today's culture of blogging. "In an age of practically universal web access, the diary represents an old fashioned sense of self scrutiny and surveillance, a period of personal introspection." Four Thought was recorded at the End of the Road music festival.Producer: Sheila CookPhoto Credit: Sarah Caroline Photography.
