		Brigid was the goddess of the Sacred Flame of Kildare.
		The first Abbess of Kildare, Brigid of Ireland, daughter of King Dubhthach of Leinster, is often conflated with this figure, sometimes to the point wherein it is denied that the actual woman ever existed, despite historical records of her presence at the abbey.
		Brigid was the patron goddess of the druids.

	Brigid Brophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brigid Antonia Brophy (born June 12, 1929, in London, England; died August 7, 1995, in Louth, Lincolnshire, England) was an English novelist, essayist, critic, biographer, and dramatist.
		In the Dictionary of Literary Biography: British Novelists since 1960, S. Newman described her as "one of the oddest, most brilliant, and most enduring of [the] 1960s symptoms." She was a feminist and pacifict who expressed controversial opinions on marriage, the Vietnam War, religious education in schools, sex, and pornography.
		A collection of Brophy's manuscripts are housed in Lilly Library at Indiana University at Bloomington.

	glbtq >> literature >> Brophy, Brigid
		English novelist, essayist, and biographer Brigid Brophy was one of the 1960s' most daring voices in her explorations of the varieties of sexuality.
		Brophy was born in London, June 12, 1929, the daughter of the novelist John Brophy and Charis Grundy, the American-born daughter of the Bishop ("Angel") of Liverpool of the apocalyptic and now-defunct Irvingite sect.
		During the 1960s, their unconventional marriage, informed by Brophy's boldly outspoken views favoring bisexuality and opposing monogamy and institutional heterosexuality, was a cause célèbre in the British press and literary circles.

	The Mozart Project: Mozart the Dramatist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Brophy, called "a sparky Queen of the Night" by one reviewer, possesses the rare confidence of someone thoroughly acquainted with Enlightenment literature and intimately familiar with virtually every note of her subject's operas.
		The result at times is breathtaking as Brophy instructs her readers on subjects such as "The Importance of Mozart's Operas," "Women and Opera" and "Seduction in Mozart's Operas." Along the way, you will learn the real identity of Cherubino, what Don Giovanni has in common with Hamlet and the truth behind Die Zauberflöte.
		Brophy passionately applies her own "searching affection" to not only Mozart's characters, but to Mozart as well.

	Flesh - Brigid Brophy
		Perhaps English upper middle-class Jews of that era did talk like that (or, for all we know, still do), but most of it is quite distracting and seems a bit forced.
		Flesh is a small tale, but Brophy captures and relates a great deal here, a convincing portrait as filled-out as a Rubens.

		Under the influence of "intermediate" inspirations, language and fiction are "in transit" to a new state of art and eros.
		Not surprisingly, and in a way that revives the heroic gay tradition, Brophy's next book after In Transit is her colossal revaluation of Firbank, Prancing Novelist (1971), which along with The Lion and the Fox is one of the best critical studies in English of a gay writer.
		The works and themes of Wilson and Brophy, along with Christopher and His Kind, remain paradigms of the literary culture of the final quarter of the twentieth century.

		Brigid Brophy's biography of Ronald Firbank's 'Prancing Novelist' proved her a sensitive biographer, one who was able to re-live the life of her subject.
		Her recognition and celebration of his homosexuality as an integral part of his art widened the scope of literary criticism.
		Apart from this biography cum defense of fiction, Brophy's praise of Firbank is found in her works that show his deep influence in both form and content.

		But even Elizabeth Taylor and Brigid Brophy are worlds apart.

		Brigid Brophy wrote nine works of fiction, including The Adventures of God in His Search for the Black Girl, The King of a Rainy Country, and The Finishing Touch.
