About the Author
Djuna Barnes was born in Great Britain and moved to New York in 1911, where she briefly studied at the Pratt Institute of Art. In the 1920s she moved to Paris, where she lived and worked amongst the literary-expatriate community until she moved back to New York. She is the author of The Antiphon, Ladies Almanack, Nightwood, and Ryder. Rebecca Loncraine is a former research fellow at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford.
Customer Reviews
New and uncovered
This collection is somewhat misleadingly titled - it isn't just the collection suggested by the title, but a true collected Djuna Barnes poetry edition. It features poetry that until now was only in in newspapers and periodicals. It's a fascinating insight into this truly original and important 20th century voice. Anyone interested in modernism or the women who were the uncelebrated voices within it should be interested in this.
