ABSTRACT

Chapter 4 reviews Milner’s legacy and the influence of her autobiographical cure on her readers in the twentieth century. It explores Milner’s own relationship to influence and goes on to assess what kind of influence Milner has on her readers through an examination of her fan letters and the work of other authors. Milner, as this chapter demonstrates, has quietly though evidently inspired a shared idiom of therapeutic work at the site of autobiographical mark-making.
