In her compelling reexamination of Djima Barnes s work,
Daniela
Caselli
raises timely
questions about Barnes, biography and feminist criticism, identity and authority,
and modernist canon formation. Through close readings of Barnes s manuscripts,
correspondence, critically acclaimed and little-known texts,
Caselli
tackles one of the
central unacknowledged issues in Barnes: intertextuality. She shows how throughout
Barnes s corpus the repetition of texts, by other authors (from Blake to Middleton) and
by Barnes herself, forces us to rethink the relationship between authority and gender
and the reasons for her marginal place within modernism. All her texts, linked as they
are by correspondences and permutations, wage a war against the common sense of
the straight mind.
Caselli
begins by analyzing how literary criticism has shaped our perceptions of
Barnes, showing how the various
personae
assigned to Barnes are challenged when
the right questions are posed: Why is Barnes such a famous author when many of
her texts remain unread, even by critics? Why has criticism reduced Barnes s work to
biographical speculations? How can Barnes s hybrid, eccentric, and unconventional
corpus be read as part of literary modernism when it often seems to sever itself from
it? How can an
oeuvre
reject the labels of feminist and lesbian literature, whilst
nevertheless holding at its centre the relationships between language, sexuality, and
the real? How can Barnes s work help us to rethink the relation between simplicity
and difficulty within literary modernism?
Caselli
concludes by arguing that Barnes s complex and bewildering work is committed
to a high modernist notion of art as a supremely difficult undertaking whilst refusing
to conform to standards of modernist acceptability.
