A "striking lesbian manifesto and a deft parody" by the acclaimed author of Nightwood. (Library Journal)Nearly 100 years after its original 1928 publication sent shockwaves through the literary scene, Ladies Almanack reigns as a brilliant modernist composition and one of the most audacious lesbian texts of the 20th century. At once a scathing social satire and a love letter to the wealthy expatriates of Paris high society, the book delights in its cast of characters, who are clear analogues to Barnes lesbian literary contemporariesand the books first readers.Arranged by month and written in a pastiche of Restoration literature, Ladies Almanack records the life and lovers of Dame Evangeline Musset, a pseudonymous standin for Natalie Clifford Barney. Accompanied for the first time by Barnes original Elizabethanstyle woodcut illustrations, this new edition also features a sharp, impassioned introduction by Sarah Schulman reflecting on the ways in which lesbian lives have changedand haventsince the 1920s. After decades out of print, Dalkey Archive is proud to revive the Ladies Almanack for contemporary readers a classic that delivers all the salacious drama of The L Word with the literary wit and wordplay of Shakespeare.
