About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace and Company, [1937]. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. A fine fresh copy, unfortunately lacking the dust jacket. T.S. Eliot's introduction appears first in this volume.
Synopsis
Nightwood is a 1936 novel by Djuna Barnes first published in London by Faber and Faber. An edition published in the United States in 1937 by Harcourt, Brace included an introduction by T. S. Eliot.. Author Charles Henri Ford typed an early version of the manuscript for Barnes during the summer of 1932, and it took Barnes several years to find a publisher. Nightwood is one of the first lesbian novels (or, for that matter, homosexual novels) to be published.
