DJUNA
BARNES : Lesbian Icon: Who? When? Where?
|
|
|
Djuna
was born into an unconventional, sexually open
family, to which she often made reference in her
work. Her mother was an English woman Elizabeth
Chappell, her father, Wald Barnes, an unsuccessful
writer, dilettante artist and polygamist, whose
wife, mistress and their children all lived in
the same household, supported by his indulgent
and equally free-thinking mother Zadel. Her childhood
was greatly influenced by her grandmother, who
was also a journalist.
Bertha Harris regarded Djuna Barnes's work as
"practically the only available expression
of lesbian culture we have in the modern western
world" since Sappho and her greatest achievement
was probably 'Nightwood' (1936)
Djuna was a member of the influential coterie
of mostly lesbian women that included Natalie
Barney and Janet Flanner....more...

Virginia Woolf - Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Ellen DeGeneres - In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better ...more...
