Englische Broschur. Condition: Sehr gut. 14. - 18. Tausend. 204 Seiten mit vielen Zeichnungen und Fotos. 21,5 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. Aus dem Klappentext: Die berühmte Dichterin Djuna Barnes beschreibt in ihren Portraits, die sie von 1913 bis 1931 für amerikanische Tageszeitungen schrieb, bekannte und weniger bekannte Zeitgenossen, die sie in New York und Paris interviewte: die Modeschöpferin Coco Chanel, den Fotografen Alfred Stieglitz, die militante Gewerkschaftlerin Mother Jones, Flo Ziegfeld mit seinen "Ziegfeld Follies", den Boxer Jack Dempsey, die Schauspielerin Lillian Russell, den Dichter James Joyce, die Vamp Lady Kiki vom Montparnasse, Diamond Jim Brady und viele andere. Djuna Barnes - selbst legendärer Mittel' punkt der bedeutendsten Bohème Zirkel jener Zeit - verleitet durch ihre künstlerische und intellektuelle Gewandtheit die Interviewten dazu, außergewöhnlich viel von sich zu enthüllen. Andererseits gab die private Djuna Barnes nie soviel von sich preis wie in diesen knappen Portraits. Ergänzt durch Zeichnungen der Autorin und zahlreiche zeitgenössische Fotos, bietet der Band "einen Blick hinter die Kulissen" der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre dieses Jahrhunderts. - Djuna Barnes (* 12. Juni 1892 in Cornwall on Hudson, New York; 18. Juni 1982 in New York City) war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin und Illustratorin. Sie zählt zu den wichtigen Autorinnen der literarischen Moderne. . Werk: Ihre Werke zeichnen sich durch einen ironischen, manchmal grotesken Stil aus. Barnes setzte sich in ihren Schriften mit dem Leben als Frau auseinander, ließ sich jedoch nie in die Feministinnenrolle drängen. Ihre Figuren sind banale Alltagsmenschen, überspitzt dargestellt. Bereits zu ihrer Zeit galten ihre Schriften als zu speziell", um für ein Massenpublikum tauglich zu sein. . Nightwood: Der zweite Roman Nightwood gilt als ihr wichtigstes Buch. Anhand der chaotischen Beziehungen fünf homo- und heterosexueller Charaktere verarbeitet sie darin ihre zerbrochene Beziehung zu Thelma Wood. Nightwood spielt im Paris der Zwischenkriegszeit. .

8vo, pp. [ii], 62; later wrappers. One of five known editions of a bawdy miscellany, of uncertain sequence. Two others have 15 and 20 titles respectively on the title-page, but the pagination is the same, and the contents are identical; there is also a 'third edition' of 1731, again with 15 titles, as well as a 58-page edition, of which the ESTC lists a single copy (L). In fact this work contains 34 pieces, all but a couple of them in verse: many of the poems have a 'sportive' quality, but there are political satires as well, some directed against Robert Walpole (the 'Great Man'). One poem ridicules the appearance at court of the poetaster Stephen Duck, the first English working-class poet to achieve wide popularity; this piece had been separately printed in 1730 as a four-page quarto (Foxon D466; item 16 on the title-page), but only one copy is recorded of that printing (at the Bodleian). Item 6 in the title, a ballad on Jack Ketch and Colonel Charteris, was also separately printed in 1730, as a folio, with the title beginning, The Reprieve (Foxon R160). Case 371 (not this edition). ESTC lists only six copies: British Library, Bodleian, Clark, Huntington, Illinois and Princeton. The copy at Illinois has a plate, but this is not found in any of the others (nor in the other printings), and is clearly an insertion from another source.
