Barnes Kindheit war gepr¤gt durch das Leben auf einer Farm einer l¤ndlichen Gegend im Staat New York und den sp¤ter in ihren literarischen Werken verarbeiteten sexuellen Missbrauch durch ihren Vater und ihre GroŸmutter. Beide waren extreme Freidenker , die auch einen Schulbesuch f¼r das Kind ablehnten. Sie wurde von ihrem Vater unterrichtet. Auch die GroŸmutter war eine zwiesp¤ltige Figur f¼r sie: trotz des als traumatisch empfunden Missbrauchs war sie von ihrer starken Pers¶nlichkeit fasziniert und sah sie in bestimmten Aspekten als Vorbild. 19-j¤hrig zog sie in die Bronx , um zu malen, arbeitete jedoch nebenher als freie Journalistin. Ab 1912 ver¶ffentlichte sie regelm¤Ÿig in New Yorker Tageszeitungen. Bald zog sie in das K¼nstlerviertel Greenwich Village , wo sie den Theaterkritiker Courtenay Lemon kennenlernte, mit dem sie eine nur drei Jahre dauernde Ehe einging. In dieser Zeit ver¶ffentlichte sie ihren ersten Gedichtband und einige Theaterst¼cke, in denen sie auch selbst spielte.

Through her father and grandmother, Barnes gained a great appreciation of and dedication to the arts (the Barnes home was often frequented by such artistic greats as Jack London and Franz Liszt). Barnes did not have a formal education because her father believed that the public school system was inadequate, and thus he felt that home schooling was much more beneficial. Her only formal schooling came after she left the home and moved to New York City. In 1912 Barnes enrolled as a student at Pratt Institute (1912-13) and the Art Students League (1915-16). While at Pratt, she began her writing career as a reporter and illustrator for the Brooklyn Eagle. Barnes wrote mostly feature articles and interviews. When she was at Greenwich Village she had an affair with Mary Pyne, and met and lived for a time with the sculptress Berenice Abbott. Barnes' first published her poetry in 1915 as a collection of "rhythms and drawings" entitled The Book of Repulsive Women . Subsequently she met Jane Heap and had an affair with her. Djuna did also have a brief affair with Natalie Barney. In 1919 Barnes moved to Paris where she met and lived with the sculptress Thelma Woodfor ten years. In 1923, Barnes published a collection of lyrical poems, stories, drawings, and one-act plays which she entitled

But Djuna Barnes does not use imagery on the basic level. Her use of imagery in Nightwood exceeds the physical details and paints a psychological picture with her words. This statement, also, is not completely accurate for the images she creates are more fully dimensional than the trite allusion to a "terror-stricken, victim" which could be construed as psychological; Barnes' victim would know terror "like she knew the fetus that even now fought against her shallow breathing like a caged beast". The imagery of the second example breathes and fights, and the universal image of the womb plays on deep levels within our own psyches to evoke a response the first example cannot possibly imagine.

    Extractions: Djuna Chappell Barnes (1892-1982) Avant-garde American writer, illustrator, playwright, and a well-known figure in the literary scenes of Paris and London before World War II. Barnes's experimental work is characterized by malevolent characters, dark humour and decadent flavor. Her most famous novel, Nightwood T.S. Eliot 's recommendations. "Barnes knew most intimately many lesbians, such as the subjects of her in-joke satire, Ladies Almanack , including Natalie Barney, Janet Flanner, and Dolly Wilde, who had absolutely no relationship to the women she described in Nightwood ... Barnes also knew enough to agree with Natalie Barney that Proust's treatment of flighty lesbians who follow gay male patterns of cruising and sexual contacts in Remembrance of Things Past was "improbable." Yet Barnes's treatment in her own novel was not much different. It attests to the power of literary images over lesbian writers that, even after criticizing Proust's lies, Barnes called on her knowledge of lesbians in literature rather than in life in order to write her own novel." (Lillian Faderman in Surpassing the Love of Men Djuna Barnes was born in Cornwall-on-Hudson. Her wealthy and free-spirited father, Henry Budington ("Wald") Barnes, was an unsuccessful painter, who ran a farm on Long Island. Elizabeth (Chappel) Barnes, Djuna's mother, was an English violinist. Djuna was raised by her mother and her suffragist grandmother. She and the four other children of the family were taught outside the school system. Her father influenced deeply her development as an artist. According to Andrew Field's biography, she could have suffered some psychosexual abuse at home. In her works, Barnes's vision of love contains an element of incest. On the other hand, this atmosphere of understated perversity was typical for fin-de-siècle novels.

    Extractions: Barnes, Djuna (1892-1982) American novelist Djuna Barnes sought new forms of self-representation of lesbians in the face of society's compulsory heterosexuality. Barnes was born on June 12, 1892, in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, the daughter of an Englishwoman, Elizabeth Chappell, and an unsuccessful American writer, Wald Barnes. "Barnes" is the birth name of her paternal grandmother, Zadel Barnes Gustafson, a feminist writer, spiritualist, and journalist who helped educate her and who inspired the character Sophia in her semiautobiographical novel Ryder Sponsor Message. The complex network of family relationships produced by her father's bigamy and the experience of being "given" in marriage in 1909 to her father's second wife's brother influence both Ryder and the later family drama The Antiphon Barnes left home almost immediately after the marriage and around 1912 arrived in Greenwich Village, where she supported herself by writing feature stories and local color sketches for several New York dailies. In a few of the sketches, using what Monique Wittig has characterized as her "out-of-the-corner-of-the-eye perception," Barnes captures the same-sex desire encoded in the accoutrements and cultivated eccentricities of the Villagers.

The following entry presents an overview of Barnes's career. For further information on her life and career, see CLC , Volumes 3, 4, 8, 11, 29. Barnes is most associated with the modernists of the early twentieth century. She shared the primary ideals of modernism—to revitalize language, express the unconscious mind and the alienation of the modern individual, and to reject the modes of realism. Barnes's writing was difficult to read because she stressed imagery and symbolism in her works rather than realistic or naturalistic descriptions. Although Barnes was an infamous public figure and well-known journalist, her fiction was never widely read. She had a small cult following, including some of the best-known modernist writers of the century, such as T. S. Eliot. Nevertheless, Barnes described herself as "the most famous unknown of the century." Barnes was born in 1892 to Wald and Elizabeth Chappell Barnes. While a child and teenager, Barnes was a victim of incest. As a result, sexual abuse is a frequent subject of her work, but is sometimes buried in the subtext of her fiction. Barnes's home life was further complicated by her mother who ignored and denied Barnes's victimization, and allowed Wald's mistress and their children to move in with the family. Barnes escaped the household, becoming a freelance journalist in the 1910s. Her work ranged from the serious to the ridiculous. She interviewed famous actors, statesman, and carnival sideshow freaks. In 1921

    Extractions: Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) "To be 'one's self' is the most shocking custom of all." Djuna Barnes was an amazing writer, illustrator, and woman. Because she is one of the the least-known women on this site, my page on her will be a bit different from the others. My approach to describing Djuna's place as an amazing woman will be mostly a biographical account of her life. Once you read it, you will have little doubt why I think she's an amazing woman! The full biography is forthcoming. For now, here's a bare-bones version. Djuna Barnes was born in 1892 in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, and died in 1982 in New York City. However, much of her life was lived far from New York. She was an author of fiction, poetry, and plays, who started out as a freelance journalist and illustrator in New York in 1913. Her talent and her connections with the artistic community in Greenwich Village soon led to the publication of her poetry and to the production of several of her plays. Assignments from magazines took her to Europe in 1921, where she lived until 1939. During that time she published several book-length works, including the novel Nightwood , which is considered her masterpiece. In 1940 she moved to Greenwich Village, where she lived for the remainder of her life. She continued to write poetry up until her death, though little was published. While decisively disregarded as a major author and member of the literary canon, the novelty of her work and fascination of her characters have securely placed her in the aesthetic annals of literature's history.
