THE SELF AND THE ACT OF WRITING
THE SELF AND THE ACT OF WRITING

Summary/Abstract: The present article is intended to close the series of published articles on Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf and Leon Wieseltier, who have beenanalysed from the perspective of the identity experience the reader can witness in their works. This triplet of eminent W’s could not separate the act of writing from the autobiographical element, revealing their art as a (partial) representation of the self which mirrors/brings together wounds, regrets, desire, ailment, identity crisis, (in)sanity, shame, transgression and so many more that would frame their identity in the attempt to recover it, to construct it, to “heal” it or even to deconstruct it.
