• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Spanning the gamut of literary expression, 'GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume' offers a comprehensive exploration of Stein's groundbreaking approach to language and form. Comprised of Stein's early 20th-century works including the avant-garde 'Tender Buttons', the cubist-influenced narratives of 'Three Lives', as well as the playful yet enigmatic scripts found in 'Geography and Plays', this collection reflects an audacious departure from traditional narrative technique. Stein's writing is emblematic of modernist literature, recognized for its stream-of-consciousness and repetitive style-a testament to her belief in language as a vehicle for portraying the essence of thought and experience, rather than simply a means for straightforward storytelling. Gertrude Stein, a towering figure in modernist literature, penned these works during her Paris years, where she was central to the avant-garde scene. Her innovative prose and poetry drew on influences from her close relationships with groundbreaking artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and other vanguards to the Cubist movement. Stein's own life-an American expatriate finding her path among the cultural elite of Paris-infuses her writings with unique perspectives on identity, art, and human experience. The works collected here are not only a reflection of Stein's intellectual milieu but also of her personal journey as a writer and an individual in the early 20th-century art world. This anthology is a delightful invitation for readers, scholars, and literary enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the complex tapestry of Gertrude Stein's work. Her unique linguistic innovations and the rich, textured layers of her prose and poetry challenge conventional forms of comprehension and reward thoughtful engagement. The 'GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection' serves both as an ideal introduction to the author's oeuvre for newcomers and as a valuable compilation for those already familiar with her contributions to modern literature. Indeed, for anyone invested in exploring the transformation of narrative and representation in the modern era, Stein's collection is an indispensable treasure trove.

Autorenporträt

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector, widely acknowledged as a central figure in the modernist literary movement. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, immersing herself in the avant-garde circles and hosting a famous salon that attracted leading artists and writers of the time. Her works often feature a stream-of-consciousness technique, an innovative use of repetition and playful approach to language, which influenced subsequent generations of writers. Stein's writing was not only pioneering in its form but also in the way it challenged traditional narrative structures and the representation of gender and sexuality. Among her most notable works are 'Three Lives' (1909) and 'Tender Buttons' (1914), which showcase her radical syntactical experiments. Her voluminous 'The Making of Americans' (1925) is considered a modernist epic, displaying her unique literary style, which can be further explored in the compendium 'GERTRUDE STEIN Premium Collection: 60+ Poems, Tales & Plays in One Volume'. While Stein's work was controversial and often met with criticism for its obscurity and esoteric nature, her contribution to the literary avant-garde and her influence on the development of twentieth-century literature remains significant.
