In this illuminating and lucid study, Deborah Parsons examines the
psychological and stylistic aspects of Djuna Barnes's work within
the social, cultural and aesthetic context of the modernist period.
Djuna Barnes once described herself as one of the most famous
unknowns of the century. Revisionary accounts of female modernist
writers have reawakened interest in her work, yet she remains a
unique and idiosyncratic figure, unassimilated by models of
American expatriate or Sapphic modernism. In this illuminating and
lucid study, Deborah Parsons examines the range of Barnes's oeuvre;
her early journalism, short stories and one act dramas, poetry, the
family chronicle Ryder, the Ladies Almanack, and her late play The
Antiphon, as well as her modernist classic Nightwood. She explores
the psychological and stylistic aspect of Barnes's work through
close analysis of the texts within their social, cultural and
aesthetic context, and provides an indispensable and enriching
guide to Barnes's artistic identity and poetic vision. Barnes's
determined inversion of generic, social, sexology, degeneration,
ethnography and decadence, her unusual childhood, her professional
friendships with T.S.Eliot and James Joyce, and her controversial
lesbianism are all highlighted and discussed in this introduction
to a bold and enigmatic writer.
