Geography and Plays

By Gertrude Stein & Sherwood Anderson
Geography and Plays by Gertrude Stein & Sherwood Anderson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The essential collection of avant-garde writing by the twentieth-century literary icon and author of The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.

Gertrude Stein was one of the most influential and challenging American writers of the twentieth century. This collection of her writings from 1908 to 1920 demonstrates both the evolution of her craft and the range of styles and genres employed in her unconventional experiments.

Here is Stein the literary Cubist, reveling in fragmentation and dislocation; Stein the linguist, whose work anticipated post-structural literary theory; Stein the lesbian pioneer, celebrating love and domestic joy between women; Here also is Stein the poet, the portraitist, the philosopher, and dramatist.

First published in 1922, with an introduction by Sherwood Anderson, Geography and Plays is one of the most important early prototypes of high modernism.

About Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was an American novelist and poet. Born in Pennsylvania, in 1903 she immigrated to France, where she would live for the rest of her life. The home on the Left Bank of Paris that she shared with her partner, Alice B. Toklas, became a cultural hub as young artists and writers began to gather there. As her salon rose to prominence, Stein befriended several expatriate authors living in Paris, including Djuna Barnes, James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway. Stein has been credited with coining the term the lost generation to describe this group of writers. She died in France in 1946.
