Society and the Observer Creator 3. Autobiography and the Intellectual 4. Art and the Artist Curator 5. Self-Editorship and 'Keith Vaughan' The Diaristic Impulse and Self-Construction: An Afterword BibliographyReviews'Belsey writes well about Vaughan’s attitude to warfare as a conscientious objector, and how, reduced to a mere cog in the Non-Combatant Corps, he used the early part of the journal to construct an identity for himself. We are also shown Vaughan’s determination to improve and evolve as a writer. In this he succeeded, and his journal is not only an invaluable social document but, at its best, a considerable work of literature.'
