Cet ouvrage vient poser la question de l'écriture autobiographique, de l'écriture de soi dans son rapport au narcissisme, dans ce qu'il recouvre de faille justement dans l'amour de soi. Les termes du problème sont tout d'abord posés au regard de la psychanalyse, mais aussi de l'histoire, en montrant que, dans l'écriture de soi, le plus intime devient, de manière paradoxale, le plus impersonnel, voire le plus insaisissable, comme chez Derrida. Cette question de l'exposition de soi est explorée ensuite dans la littérature à travers d'une part le mythe de Narcisse qui meurt lorsqu'il se rencontre, d'autre part des écrits autobiographiques. Celui de Schreber met en évidence la fonction du double dans ce type d'écriture de soi, comme l'emploi de multiples pseudonymes pour Saint-John Perse, quand il parle de lui, constitue une défense contre un effondrement s'il venait à s'unifier sous un seul nom. Enfin, à partir de la clinique, est analysé l'enjeu de construction et de destruction du sujet qui se prête à une écriture autobiographique. En effet, dans ce type d'écriture, le texte se présente comme lieu d'élection et d'incarnation d'une représentation de soi, ayant pour mission de donner corps à ces illusions narcissiques qui, tout à la fois, font vivre le sujet et l'empêchent de vivre, ce dont témoigne bien l'écriture adolescente, spécialement celle du journal intime.

The First World War was the first 'total war'. Its industrial weaponry damaged millions of men and drove whole armies underground into dangerously unhealthy trenches. Many were killed. Many more suffered terrible, life-threatening injuries: wound infections such as gas gangrene and tetanus, exposure to extremes of temperature, emotional trauma and systemic disease. In an effort to alleviate this suffering, tens of thousands of women volunteered to serve as nurses. Of these, some were experienced professionals while others had undergone only minimal training. But regardless of their preparation, they would all gain a unique understanding of the conditions of industrial warfare. Until recently their contributions, both to the saving of lives and to our understanding of warfare, have remained largely hidden from view. By combining biographical research with textual analysis, Nurse writers of the great war opens a window onto their insights into the nature of nursing and the impact of war. Examining the experiences of First World War nurses through their own writings, this book offers fresh insights into the reality of industrial warfare.
