First published in 1936, Nightwood is Djuna Barnes’s modernist masterpiece and a landmark of sapphic literature. Set among the outsiders and nocturnal world of pre-War Paris, it explores obsessive love, sexuality and alienation through intense, dreamlike prose. Gothic, strange and unconventional, the novel includes an introduction by T.S. Eliot.
