Book Synopsis Literary Cubism - Geography and Plays - Selected Works of Gertrude Stein by : Gertrude Stein
Download or read book Literary Cubism - Geography and Plays - Selected Works of Gertrude Stein written by Gertrude Stein and published by Special Edition Books. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gertrude Stein was at heart an artist's writer. She became well-known to the literary mainstream with "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas," and was at her most accessible with her speech and autobiographical writing of her later years. It is with collections such as "Geography and Plays," however, that Stein showcased the possibilities of the English language to transcend beyond literature into the realm of modern art. The page was her canvas, and as the Cubist painters of her time treated their subjects, Stein re-assembled words in an abstracted form to present them in a greater context, a context un-tethered by a singular viewpoint. This modern edition contains a massive collection of over 50 different works by Gertrude Stein. In addition to the daring and cheeky "Miss Furr and Miss Skeene," this revitalized edition contains many of her most radical and influential works. There is "Ada," one of Stein's many word portraits of famous personages, this one written of Alice B. Toklas. There is "Every Afternoon: A Dialogue," a conversation between two unnamed people highlighting the writer's playful, often humorous style. Also included is "Sacred Emily," in which the reader finds Stein's most often quoted line, "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," a line that employs her trademark use of repetitive language to express that things are what they are, but at the same time, so much more. In Stein's view, the simple naming of a thing already invokes the imagery and emotions associated with it-the writer does not need to manipulate the word any further.

Book excerpt: "'You are, of course, never yourself', wrote Gertrude Stein in one of her famously witty autobiographies. In this book Lucy Daniel reveals the many selves that composed Stein's inspiring and captivating life." "Though American, Stein has been celebrated as the embodiment of Left Bank bohemia. She was a patron of modern art and writing, as a gay icon and the hostess of perhaps the most famous salon of modern times, with Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway and Pound among her friends and associates. Yet despite an immense and varied body of work and a writing life that spanned 50 years, she remains one of the most recognizable and yet least-known of the twentieth century's major literary figures." "Daniel shows how the legend of 'Gertrude Stein' was created, both by Stein herself and her admirers, exploring her works, her many notable portraits and her own entertaining anecdotes. From early efforts in automatic writing to late experiments in the art of autobiography, Daniel examines Stein's continued stylistic experimentation, as well as her involvement with turn-of-the-century feminism and psychology, her 40-year relationship with Alice B. Toklas, the cultural impact of her salon in the Parisian expat scene, and the controversy surrounding her life in occupied France during the Second World War." "A fresh and readable presentation of this major American writer, Gertrude Stein gives much-needed attention to the continuing significance and influence of Stein's work." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by : Gertrude Stein
Download or read book The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas written by Gertrude Stein and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was written in 1933 by Gertrude Stein in the guise of an autobiography authored by Alice B. Toklas, who was her lover. It is a fascinating insight into the art scene in Paris as the couple were friends with Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. They begin the war years in England but return to France, volunteering for the American Fund for the French Wounded, driving around France, helping the wounded and homeless. After the war Gertrude has an argument with T. S. Eliot after he finds one of her writings inappropriate. They become friends with Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. It was written to make money and was indeed a commercial success. However, it attracted criticism, especially from those who appeared in the book and didn't like the way they were depicted.

Book Synopsis Going the Distance by : David R. Jarraway
Download or read book Going the Distance written by David R. Jarraway and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold new theoretical study explores dissident subjectivity, that is, the struggle for unique authorial identity in American literary discourse that has existed, according to David Jarraway, since the Romantics. From Emerson’s “Experience” remarking upon the “focal distance within the actual horizon of human life” to Toni Morrison’s Nobel Prize address sanctifying the artist’s “sophisticated privileged space,” American literature has continuously recognized a necessary “distance”—the gap between culturally accepted ideas of selfhood and the intractable reality of the self’s never-completed construction in time. Jarraway’s fascinating examination of modernist poets shows that engaging with this artistic space, or “going the distance,” empowers writers and their readers to create and perceive identities that resist the frozen certainties of conventional gender, sexual, and social roles. Employing this theory with grace and precision, Jarraway ranges through the dissident process in Gertrude Stein, the cultural criticism of William Carlos Williams, the deferred racialism of Langston Hughes, the queer perversities of Frank O’Hara, and the spectral lesbian poetics of Elizabeth Bishop. Bolstered further by insights from the pragmatism of William James through the cultural critique of Theodor Adorno to the queer theory of Judith Butler, the author challenges his audience with politically engaged insistence on the life-affirming potentialities of human subjectivity in literature. His passionate conclusion demonstrates the liberating fluidity of self made possible by feminist chartings of modern identity’s depths. Lucidly composed, theoretically sophisticated and up-to-the-minute, Going the Distance painstakingly recovers the dissident American subjective in modernist literary discourse within its fullest cultural context. Jarraway’s readings are a major contribution to poetry scholarship and to cultural studies that will provoke further investigations into the history of subjectivity in American literature as a whole.
