Accumulation refers to the fact that text no longer is the only mode of expression for online diarists, who use the full gamut of media available to writers.
Historians and political diarists of the time were more concerned with the highpolitical manoeuvrings that followed, in which the soldier himself was a helpless, even pitiful, participant.
This failure is the result of paying too much attention to the diarist and anthropomorphizing the text in order to match it with our suppositions about the man.
Provisional selection and crosschecking of related entries and concurrent validation of significant events with the diarist was required.
Each response to an entry gives diarists confirmation of their own existence.
Sociopsychological constraints raised by diarists included undesirable teacher-learner role relationships, negative self-evaluation, examination anxiety, deficient study skills, and obstacles to independent learning.
The identity of the diarist is somewhat mysterious.
Each of the chapters which comprise the body of the book has a short introduction to the specific diarist who is being presented.
