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 contemporaries--and the book's first readers.Arranged by month and written in a pastiche of Restoration literature, \u003ci\u003eLadies Almanack\u003c\/i\u003e records the life and lovers of Dame Evangeline Musset, a pseudonymous stand-in for Natalie Clifford Barney. Accompanied for the first time by Barnes' original Elizabethan-style woodcut illustrations, this new edition also features a sharp, impassioned introduction by Sarah Schulman reflecting on the ways in which lesbian lives have changed--and haven't--since the 1920s. After decades out of print, Dalkey Archive is proud to revive the \u003ci\u003eLadies Almanack\u003c\/i\u003e for contemporary readers: a classic that delivers all the salacious drama of \u003ci\u003eThe L Word \u003c\/i\u003ewith the literary wit and wordplay of Shakespeare. \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Ladies Almanack | Sarah Barnes, Djuna; Barnes, Djuna; Schulman | Paperback | 9781628975581 | New | Fiction 1730184","offer_id":48168991883416,"sku":"1730184","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81vydwXJn0L.jpg?v=1771983599","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ladies-almanack","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
