My history, finally invented : Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood and its readers

In this report, I examine the reception of Djuna Barnes’s novel Nightwood (1936)
from contemporary reviews in periodicals to twenty-first century online reviews. I am
interested in how the novel has been situated in both historical and personal canons. I
focus on how Nightwood has been read through the lenses of experimental modernism,
lesbian feminism and postmodern queer theory, and how my own readings of it have
changed over the years. / text
