Through a comparative reading of these two diaries, this article demonstrates that while both of these authors' wartime circumstances were radically different, they responded to the crisis around them in remarkably similar ways. By using more encompassing definitions of the term, it also explores to what extent these two diaries can be read as acts of wartime resistance. By offering close readings of the diaries—and placing them in their historical context—this article concludes that while the diary played a similar role for both authors, only Olip's can be read as an act of resistance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Austrian Studies is the property of Modern Austrian Literature and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
