Popis This paper looks at journals as a source of information and misinformation in two neo-Victorian novels, Possession by A. S. Byatt and Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem by Peter Ackroyd. Both books rely on textual evidence which is used to uncover past secrets, satisfy the need for knowledge and manipulate the audience. The paper explores the term romances of the archive and its key characteristics and then moves on to a closer examination of journals and their use in the selected works. Special attention is placed on the meaningful omissions and silences that the diary medium portrays and the reasons behind their often deceitful contents.
