With analyses of the diaries of Haller, Gellert, Lavater, La Roche, von der Recke, Goethe, Leisewitz, Lichtenberg, etc., and taking full account of culture-historical aspects, the media, and mentality, the study traces the contribution made by the diary genre to the two central developments of the 18th century: individualization and the spread of written culture.
